Now the Saviour stands a pleading

Appears in 151 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now the Saviour stands a pleading At the sinners bolted heart Now in heaven is interceding, Undertaking sinner's part. Chorus: Sinners can you hate that Saviour, Can you thrust him form your arms; Once he died for your behaviour, Now he calls you to his charms. 2 Now he pleads his sweat and bloodshed, Shews his wounded hands and feet— Father save them tho' they're blood red, Raise them to an heavenly seat. [Chorus] 3 Sinners, hear your God and Saviour, Hear his gracious voice to-day; Turn from all your base behaviour, Now return, repent, and pray. [Chorus] 4 Open now your hearts before him, Bid your Saviour welcome in; Now receive, and love, adore him, Take a full discharge from sin. [Chorus] 5 Now he's waiting to be gracious, Now he stands and looks on thee; See what kindness, love, and pity, Shines around, on you and me. [Chorus] 6 Come! for all things now are ready— Yet there's room for many more. O ye blind, ye lame, and needy, Come to grace's boundless store. [Chorus]

Come, Christian friends, and hear me tell

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Christian friends, and hear me tell The wonders of Immanuel, He is the light of satins below, Their strength and comfort from him flow. 2 Tho' all the world should spread its wings, And tempt them with ten thousand things, They can't forget that heav'nly love Which brought a Savior from above. 3 For us he bow'd his awful head, Down to the regions of the dead, To take away our weighty guilt, The Saviour's sacred blood was spilt. 4 Now hear his call, now hear him plead, For us he lives to intercede; He's left the tomb, ascended high Above the curtains of the sky. 5 How charming is that heav'nly call, The gospel sounding free to all. Come sinners hear— and see, and taste The joys which cannot be express'd.

How lost was my condition

Appears in 326 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How lost was my condition, Till Jesus made me whole; There is but one physician Can cure a sin sick soul: Next door to death he found me, And pluck'd me from the grave; To tell to all around me: His wond'rous power to save! 2 Of men great skill possessing, I thought a cure to gain, But that prov'd more distressing, And added to my pain: Some said that nothing ail'd me; Some gave me up for lost Thus every refuge fail'd me, And all my hopes were cross'd. 3 At length this great physician, How matchless in his power, Accepted my petition, And undertook my cure, First gave me sight to view him, For sin my sight had seal'd, Then bid me look unto him, I look'd and I was heal'd. 4 A bleeding, dying Jesus, Seen by an eye of Faith At once from sin it frees us, And saves our souls from death! Come then to this physician, His help he'll freely give He makes no hard condition, 'Tis, only look and live.

See! how the nations rage together

Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See! how the nations rage together, Seeking of each others blood; See how the scriptures are fulfilling! Sinners awake and turn to God. 2 We see the fig-tree budding; You that in open ruin lie, Behold the leaves almost appearing, Awak! behold your end is nigh. 3 We read of wars, and great commotions, To come before that dreadful day; Sinners quit your sinful courses, And trifle not your time away. 4 Consider now the desolation, And the shortness of your time; Since there's none but a dark ocean, For all that don't repent in time, 5 Ye ministers that wait on preaching, Teachers and exhorters too, Don't you see your harvest wasting, Arise, there is no rest for you, 6 O think upon that strict commandment, God has on his teachers laid: The sinner's blood that dips unwarned, Shall fall upon the teacher's head. 7 Arise dear brethren, let's be doing, See the nations in distress; The Lord of hosts forbid their ruin, Before their day of grace is past. 8 To see the land lie in confusion, Looks dreadful in our mortal eye; But O dear sinners, that is nothing, To when the day of doom draws nigh. 9 To see the Lord in clouds descending, Saints and angels guard him round; The saints from earth will rise to meet him, But sinners speechless at his frown. 10 To see the mountains a burning, Mountains and hills must forward fly, The moon in blood, the stars a falling, And comets blazing thro' the sky. 11 O sinners! that's not all that's dreadful, Before your Judge you must appear; To answer for your past transactions, How you ran your courses here. 12 The book of conscience will be open'd And your character read therein; The sentence is, depart ye cursed, And every saint will cry, Amen. 13 O Lord, forbid that this our nation, That this should be their dreadful case; O sinners turn and find salvation, While now he offers you free grace. 14 'Tis now you have a gospel morning, And yet the lamp holds out to burn; 'Tis now you have sufficient warning, O sinners! sinners! will you turn?

Almighty love inspire

Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Almighty love inspire My heart with sacred fire, And animate desire My soul to renew. I love my blessed Jesus, Oh whom bright angels gazes And symphony increases Above the etherial blue. 2 My tender hearted Jesus, Thy love my soul amazes, Thou came for to save us, When lost and undone, No Seraph could redeem us, No Angel could retrieve us, No Arm could relieve us, But Jesus alone. 3 In Him I have believed, And He's my soul retrieved From sin He has redeemed My soul which was dead. And now I love my Saviour, For I am in his favor, And hope with Him for ever, The golden streets to tread. 4 Yet here awhile I stay, In hope of that glad day, When I am call'd away, To the mansions above. There to enjoy the pleasure Of inconsuming treasure, And shout in highest measure Hallelujahs of Love.

Jerusalem my happy home

Appears in 623 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home, O how I long for thee! When will my sorrows have an end? Thy joys when shall I see? 2 Thy walls are all of precious stone, Most glorious to behold; Thy gates are richly set with pearl, Thy streets are pav'd with gold. 3 Thy garden and thy pleasant green, My study long have been; Such sparkling light by human sight, Have never yet been seen. 4 If Heav'n be thus so glorious Lord, Why should I stay from thence? What folly's this that I should dread To die and go from hence! 5 Reach down, reach down, thine arm of grace, And cause me to ascend, Where congregations ne'er break up, And Sabbaths never end. 6 Jesus my love to glory's gone, Him will I go and see; And all my brethren here below, Will soon come after me. 7 My friends I bid you all adieu, I leave you in God's care, And if I never more see you, Go on I'll meet you there. 8 There we shall meet and no more part, And Heaven shall ring with praise, While Jesus's love in every heart, Shall tune the song Free Grace. 9 Millions of years around may run, Our song shall still go on, To praise the Father and the Son, And Spirit three in One. 10 When we've been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the Sun, We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we first begun.

As near to Calvary I pass'd

Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As near to Calvary I pass'd, Methought I saw an extended cross, Where a poor victim hangs; His flesh with rugged iron tore, His limbs all stain'd with purple gore, Gasping in dying pangs. 2 Wond'ring the spectacle to see, Who can this bleeding victim be, In such exquisite pain? Why thus consign'd to woes, I cry'd? ’Tis I, the bleeding Lamb reply'd, To save a world from sin. 3 How can it be? my soul replies, Jesus for mortal rebels dies, What!Jesus die for me? Yes, saith th'expiring Son of God, I give my life, I spill my blood, For thee, poor soul for thee. 4 Lord, if thy life thou’st freely given To bring my wretched soul to heaven, And bless me with thy charms; Then at thy feet, O God, I fall, I give my life, my soul, my all; O take me in thy arms. 5 All other lover's I'll adieu, My dying lover I'll pursue, And bless the slaughter'd Lamb: My life, my breath, my strength, my days, I will devote to spread thy praise, And celebrate thy name. 6 And when my days on earth shall cease, I'll leave these mortal climes in peace, And stretch to realms above, I'll join in praise immortal strains, There where my heavenly lover reigns, And feast upon his love.

Now begins the Heav'nly theme

Appears in 388 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now begins the Heav'nly theme, Sing aloud in Jesus's name; Ye who Jesus's goodness prove, Triumph in redeeming love. 2 Ye who see the Father's grace Beaming in the Saviour's face, While to Canaan on ye move Bless and praise redeeming love. 3 Mourning souls, dry up your tears, Banish all your guilty fears, See your guilt and curse remove, Cancel'd by redeeming love. 4 Yes, alas, who long have been Willing slaves of death and sin, Now from bliss no longer rove, Stop and taste redeeming love. 5 Welcome all by sin opprest, Welcome to a sacred rest; Nothing brought him from above, Nothing but redeeming love. 6 He subdu'd th' infernal pow'rs His tremendous foe and ours, To their cursed Empire drove, Mighty in redeeming love. 7 Hither then your music bring, Strike aloud each joyful string; Mortals join the hosts above; Join to praise redeeming love.

O God my heart with love inflame

Appears in 76 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God my heart with love inflame, That I may in thy holy name, Aloud in songs of praise rejoice, While I have breath to raise my voice; Then will I shout, then will I sing, And make the heavenly arches ring, I'll sing and shout for evermore, On that eternal happy shore. 2 O hope of Glory, Jesus come! And make my heart thy humble home For the small remnant of my days, I want to sing and shout thy praise. O give me Lord a heart to pray, And live rejoicing every day; For to give thanks in every thing; And sing and shout, and shout and sing. 3 When on my dying bed I lay, Lord give me strength to shout and pray! And praise thee with my latest breath, Until my voice is lost in death. Then brethren, sisters, shouting come, My body follow to the tomb: And as you march the solemn road, Loud sing and shout the praise of God. 4 Then you below and I above, We'll shout and praise the God of love, Until that great tremendous day, When Christ shall shout and wake our clay; Then from our dusty beds we'll spring, And shout O Death, where is thy sting? O Grave, where is thy victory? We'll shout to all eternity. 5 Our race is o'er we've gain'd the prize, Then shall the Sov'reign of the skies, With smiles unto his children say, Come reign with me in endless day. Then on that happy, happy shore, We'll shout and sing, our sufferings o'er, We'll sing and shout and shout and sing, And make the heav'nly arches ring. Glory Hallelujah.

O don't you hear the alarm

Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O don't you hear the alarm, Hark— how the trumpet sounds! It is the Lord of glory, That gives the gospel bounds. 2 Come and accept his offer Before it is too late, For Jesus is a calling Before he shuts the gate. 3 Come let us go together, And lift into his band, For Jesus is our captain, He's bounty in his hand. 4 The trumpet is a sounding, It's for more volunteers, Come like a valiant soldier, And cast away your fears. 5 Come who will list with Jesus, A soldier for to make, And like a faithful subject, His armour on you take. 6 He's food and raiment plenty, Enough— and for to spare, All things he has provided, That you have need to wear. 7 Then let us well remember, How Israel was freed, When from the hand of Pharaoh, By Moses they were led. 8 The pillar went before them, And Moses with his rod. No doubt we shall win the day, If we but trust in God. 9 Our enemies are many, On every side they stand. Then let us go together, With weapons in our hand. 10 Let us begin the battle, Like David with his sling— Fight with courage stout and bold, For Jesus Christ our king. 11 Then, when the war is ended, We'll lay our weapons by, And fly aloft to Jesus To reign above the sky. 12 In peace we'll wear the laurel, When our foes are slain. We'll take the large possession, Where peace forever reigns.
