COLLECTION OF HYMNS. AWAKENING AND INVITING. Melody-p. 2.] HYMN 1. C. M. FIRST PART. FOR a thousand tongues to sing 2 My gracious Master, and my God, To spread through all the earth abroad 3 Jesus!--the Name that charms our fears, 4 He breaks the power of cancell'd sin, His blood can make the foulest clean, 5 He speaks and listening to his voice, The mournful, broken hearts rejoice; 8 6 Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb, SECOND PART. LOOK unto Him, ye nations; own 2 See all your sins on Jesus laid: 3 Awake from guilty nature's sleep, 4 With me, your chief, ye then shall kno Calvary-p. 161.] HYMN 2. P. M COME, ye sinners, poor and needy, Weak and wounded, sick and sore, Jesus ready stands to save you, He is willing, doubt no more. 2 Now, ye needy, come and welcome, True belief and true repentance, Come to Jesus Christ and buy. 3 Let not conscience make you linger: 'Tis the Spirit's glimm'ring beam. Sinners Jesus came to call 5 Agonizing in the garden, Lo! your Maker prostrate lies! On the bloody tree behold him! Hear him cry before he dies, "It is finish'd!" Sinners, will not this suffice? 6 Lo! the' incarnate God ascending, Pleads the merit of his blood; Venture on him, venture freely; Let no other trust intrude: None but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good. 7 Saints and angels join'd in concert, Sing the praises of the Lamb, While the blissful seats of heaven Sweetly echo with his name: Hallelujah! Sinners here may do the same. Burslem-p. 56.] HYMN 3. L. M. YOME, sinners, to the Gospel feast, Ye need not one be left behind 2 Sent by my Lord, on you I call; The invitation is to all: Come, all the world! come, sinner, thou! All things in Christ are ready now. 3 Come, all ye souls by sin oppress'd, Ye restless wand'rers after rest; Ye poor, and maim'd, and halt, and blind, 4 My message as from God receive; 5 His love is mighty to compel; And freely now be sav'd by grace! Come in this moment at his call, Dudley-p. 153.] HYMN 4. 8 lines 7s. S1 INNERS, turn, why will ye die? |
