The Sinners' Friend

Hymnal: GA1888 #111 (1888) First Line: O Thou, the contrite sinners' friend! Lyrics: 1. O Thou, the contrite sinners' friend! Who, loving, lov'st them to the end, On this alone my hopes depend, That Thou wilt plead for me. 2. When weary in the Christian race, Far off appears my resting place, And, fainting, I mistrust Thy grace, Then, Savior, plead for me. 3. When I have err'd and gone astray, Afar from Thine and wisdom's way. And see no glimmering, guiding ray, Still, Savior, plead for me. 4. When Satan, by my sins made bold, Strives from Thy cross to loose my hold, Then with Thy pitying arms enfold, And plead, oh, plead for me. 5. And when my dying hour draws near, Darken'd with anguish, guilt, and fear, Then to my fainting sight appear, Pleading in heav'n for me. 6. When the full light of heav'nly day Reveals my sins in dread array, Say Thou hast wash'd them all away; Oh, say Thou plead'st for me. Tune Title: [O Thou, the contrite sinners' friend!]

Come Home, Prodigal

Author: F. A. B. Hymnal: GA1888 #112 (1888) First Line: Unto thy Father's dwelling Lyrics: 1. Unto thy Father's dwelling, O prodigal, return; His matchless, wondrous mercy, Do not in madness spurn. Thou'rt sick at heart, and weary, O then, why longer roam? For now in love thy Father Is calling, "Son, come home." Chorus: "Come home, prodigal, Come home, prodigal; Thy Father calls, thy Father calls, "Come home"; Come home, prodigal, Come home, prodigal; Thy Father calls, thy Father calls, "Come home." 2. Thy substance all is wasted, On husks thou fain wouldst feed; Why perish there with hunger, As soon thou wilt indeed? Forsake the land of famine, Of sorrow and of care, And seek thy Father's country; He will receive thee there. [Chorus] 3. He cometh now to meet thee, While thou art far away; And waiteth to embrace thee, And words of pardon say. Return, and this commandment Thro' loyal hearts shall sound: Rejoice, O men and angels! My son, long lost is found! [Chorus] 4. O wondrous is the mercy He hath already shown, And wondrous the affection That such a son would own; Or do not slight His goodness, So boundless and so free, But haste and seek His favor While yet He calls for thee. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Unto thy Father's dwelling]

I'll Bear the Cross

Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: GA1888 #113 (1888) First Line: I at last my cross have taken Lyrics: 1. I at last my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Tho' I am despised, forsaken, Still Thy servant, Lord, I'll be. Worldly gain and fond ambition, All I cast before Thy throne; Yet rejoice in my condition, For Thou art now, Lord, my own. 2. If the world shall turn against me, 'Tis the lot my Saviour knew; If men's hearts and words deceive me, Thou art not like them untrue. Go, then, earthly fame and treasure, Come, disaster, scorn and pain; In Thy service pain is pleasure, With Thy favor loss is gain. 3. Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin and fear and care; Joy to find in ev'ry station Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father's smile is thine; What a Saviour died to win thee Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? Tune Title: [I at last my cross have taken]
