Jesus Sinners Doth Receive

Author: Erdmann Neumeister Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 31 hymnals Scripture: Luke 15:2 Lyrics: 1 Jesus sinners doth receive; Oh, may all this saying ponder Who in sin's delusions live And from God and heaven wander! Here is hope for all who grieve-- Jesus sinners doth receive. 2 We deserve but grief and shame, Yet His words, rich grace revealing, Pardon, peace, and life proclaim. Here their ills have perfect healing Who with humble hearts believe-- Jesus sinners doth receive. 3 Sheep that from the fold did stray No true shepherd e'er forsaketh; Weary souls that lost their way Christ, the Shepherd, gently taketh In His arms that they may live-- Jesus sinners doth receive. 4 Come, ye sinners, one and all, Come, accept His invitation; Come, obey His gracious call, Come and take His free salvation! Firmly in these words believe: Jesus sinners doth receive. 5 I, a sinner, come to Thee With a penitent confession; Savior, mercy show to me Grant for all my sins remission. Let these words my soul relieve: Jesus sinners doth receive. 6 Oh, how blest it is to know: Were as scarlet my transgression, It shall be as white as snow By Thy blood and bitter Passion; For these words I now believe: Jesus sinners doth receive. 7 Now my conscience is at peace, From the Law I stand acquitted; Christ hath purchased my release And my every sin remitted. Naught remains my soul to grieve-- Jesus sinners doth receive. 8 Jesus sinners doth receive. Also I have been forgiven; And when I this earth must leave, I shall find an open heaven. Dying, still to Him I cleave-- Jesus sinners doth receive. Amen. Topics: Confession and Absolution Used With Tune: MEINEN JESUM LASS' ICH NICHT Text Sources: Tr. composite

Jesus, poor sinners will receive

Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Luke 15:1-10 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, poor sinners will receive, And make them welcome too; He calls on them to come and live! I am a friend to you. 2 He eats and drinks, and treats with them, On gracious terms of peace; And they who firmly b'lieve on him, Shall know his pard'ning grace. 3 He seeks them as poor wand'ring sheep, Who e'er and go astray; And by his providence will keep, Them in the righteous way. 4 He calls them with a loving voice, And wishes them to come; And angels too with him rejoice! To see them turning home. 5 He seeks the lost till they are found, He saves and sets them free; His heart with pure desires abound, Their happiness to see. 6 O why should sinners dread or fear? On Jesus to attend-- Who calls on them to bring them near, To him, their Lord and friend. Topics: Third Sunday after Trinity

O God, Our Creator, You Work Every Day

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Luke 15:3-7 Lyrics: O God, our Creator, you work every day: A potter, you form us, your people, like clay. A shepherd, you guide us and seek out the lost. A parent, you love us, not counting the cost. Christ Jesus, how rough were your hard-working hands! You labored among us; our God understands! Bless workers who struggle, their families to feed; Bless those who face hardship, oppression, or greed. Lord, some live among us who need constant care, Whose work is to make us more humbly aware. They teach us the best of your lessons, by far: It’s not what we do, Lord, you love who we are! We’re baptized! Your Spirit gives new work to do, That we, through our serving, may glorify you. Each person’s vocation, each calling, has worth As you send us out to bring Christ’s love on earth. Topics: Call/Vocation; Grace of God; Nation/National Holidays Used With Tune: ST. DENIO
