Behold a Stranger at the door!

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #51 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Behold a Stranger at the door! He gently knocks, has knocked before, Has waited long, is waiting still: You treat no other friend so ill. 2 But will He prove a friend indeed? He will; the very friend you need: The friend of sinners -- yes, 'tis He, With garments dyed on Calvary. 3 O lovely attitude! He stands With melting heart and laden hands; O matchless kindness! and He shows This matchless kindness to His foes. 4 Admit Him, lest His anger burn, And He, departing, ne'er return: Admit Him, or the hour's at hand, When, at His door, denied you'll stand.

The Spirit, in our hearts

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #52 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The Spirit, in our hearts, Is whispering, "Sinner, come!" The Bride, the Church of Christ, proclaims To all His children, "Come!" 2 Let him that heareth say To all about him, "Come!" Let him that thirsts for righteousness, To Christ, the Fountain, come! 3 Yes, whosoever will, O let him freely come, And freely drink the stream of life; 'Tis Jesus bids him come. 4 Lo, Jesus, who invites, Declares, "I quickly come;" Lord, even so! I wait Thine hour; Jesus, my Savior, come. Topics: Invitation Languages: English

Let every ear attend

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #53 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Let every ear attend, And every heart rejoice; The trumpet of the Gospel sounds With an inviting voice. 2 Ho! all ye starving souls, That feed upon the wind, And vainly strive with earthly toys To fill an empty mind. 3 Here Wisdom has prepared A soul-reviving feast, And bids your longing appetites The rich provision taste. 4 Ho! ye that pant for streams, And pine away and die, Here you may quench your raging thirst With springs that never dry. 5 Rivers of mercy here In a rich ocean join; Salvation in abundance flows, Like floods of milk and wine. 6 The gates of-Gospel grace Stand open night and day: Lord! we are come to seek supplies, And drive our wants away.

Return, O wanderer, return

Hasten, O sinner, to be wise

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #55 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Hasten, O sinner, to be wise, And stay not for the morrow’s sun. The longer wisdom you despise, The harder is she to be won. 2 O hasten, mercy to implore, And stay not for the morrow’s sun, For fear thy season should be o’er Before this evening’s course be run. 3 Hasten, O sinner, to return, And stay not for the morrow’s sun, For fear thy lamp should fail to burn Before the needful work is done. 4 Hasten, O sinner, to be blest, And stay not for the morrow’s sun, For fear the curse should thee arrest Before the morrow is begun.

Come, my soul, thy suit prepare

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #56 (1918) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Come, my soul, thy suit prepare, Jesus loves to answer prayer; He Himself has bid thee pray, Therefore will not say thee nay. 2 Thou art coming to a King: Large petitions with thee bring; For His grace and power are such, None can ever ask too much. 3 With my burden I begin: Lord, remove this load of sin; Let Thy blood, for sinners spilt, Set my conscience free from guilt. 4 Lord, I come to Thee for rest, Take possession of my breast; There Thy blood-bought right maintain, And without a rival reign. 5 While I am a pilgrim here, Let Thy love my spirit cheer; Be my Guide, my Guard, my Friend, Lead me to my journey's end. 6 Show me what I have to do, Every hour my strength renew; Let me live a life of faith, Let me die Thy people's death.

Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #57 (1918) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near, The waters of life are now flowing for thee; No price is demanded; the Savior is here; Redemption is purchased, salvation is free. 2 Delay not, delay not, why longer abuse The love and compassion of Jesus, thy God? A fountain is opened; how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood? 3 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, to come, For mercy still lingers, and calls thee today; Her voice is not heard in the vale of the tomb; Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away. 4 Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of grace, Long grieved and resisted, may take its sad flight, And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the vale of eternity's night. 5 Delay not, delay not, the hour is at hand; The earth shall dissolve, and the heavens shall fade; The dead, small and great, on the judgment shall stand; What power then, O sinner, shall lend thee its aid?

Come, ye weary sinners, come

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #58 (1918) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Come, ye weary sinners, come, All who feel your heavy load; Jesus calls His wanderers home; Hasten to your pardoning God. 2 Come, ye guilty souls oppressed, Answer to the Savior’s call: "Come, and I will give you rest; "Come, and I will save you all." 3 Jesus, full of truth and love, We Thy gracious call obey; Faithful let Thy mercies prove, Take our load of guilt away. 4 Fain we would on Thee rely, Cast on Thee our sin and care: To Thine arms of mercy fly, Find our lasting quiet there. 5 Lo, we come to Thee for ease: True and gracious as Thou art, Now our weary souls release, Write forgiveness on our heart.

My Soul, now bless thy Maker!

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #59 (1918) Meter: 7.8 Lyrics: 1 My Soul, now bless thy Maker! Let all within me bless His name, Who maketh thee partaker Of mercies more than thou dar'st claim! Forget Him not, whose meekness Forgiveth all thy sin; Who healeth all thy weakness, Renews thy life within; Whose grace and care are endless, And saved thee through the past; Who leaves no sufferer friendless, But rights the wronged at last! 2 He shows to man His treasure Of judgment, truth, and righteousness, His love beyond all measure, His yearning pity o'er distress; Nor treats us as we merit, But sets His anger by, The humble, contrite spirit Finds His compassion nigh; Far as the heavens above us, As break from close of day, So far, since He doth love us, He casts our sins away. 3 For as a tender father Hath pity on his children here, He in His arms will gather All who are His in childlike fear. He knows how frail our powers, Who but from dust are made, We flourish as the flowers, And even so we fade, The wind but o'er them passes, And all their bloom is o'er,-- We wither like the grasses, Our place knows us no more. 4 His grace alone endureth, And children's children yet shall prove How God with strength assureth The hearts of all that seek His love. In heaven is fixed His dwelling, His rule is over all; Angels in might excelling, Bright hosts, before Him fall! Praise Him who ever reigneth, All ye who hear His Word, Nor our poor hymns disdaineth;-- My soul, O bless the Lord! Topics: Praise Languages: English

To God, the Father of all love

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #60 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 To God, the Father of all love, The God of earth and heaven, The mighty God who reigns above, Be praise and glory given! With healing balm my soul He fills, And every pain and sorrow stills: To God all praise and glory! 2 The angel host, O King of kings, Thy praise forever telling, In earth and sky all living things Beneath Thy shadow dwelling, Adore and praise their Maker's might, Whose wisdom orders all things right; To God all praise and glory! 3 What God's almighty power hath made, His gracious mercy keepeth; By morning glow or evening shade His watchful eye ne'er sleepeth; Within the kingdom of His might, Lo! all is just and all is right; To God all praise and glory! 4 I cried to God in my distress, His mercy heard me calling; My Savior saw my helplessness, And kept my feet from falling; For this, Lord, praise and thanks to Thee! Praise God most high, praise God with me! To God all praise and glory! 5 The Lord forsaketh not His flock, His chosen generation; He is their Refuge and their Rock, Their Peace and their Salvation, And with a mother's watchful love He guides them wheresoe'er they rove; To God all praise and glory! 6 When earth can comfort us no more, Nor human help availeth, The Maker comes Himself, whose store Of blessing never faileth, And bends on them a Father's eyes Whom earth all rest and hope denies; To God all praise and glory! 7 Thus all my pilgrim way along I'll sing aloud Thy praises, That men may hear the grateful song My voice unwearied raises; Be joyful in the Lord, my heart! Both soul and body, bear your part! To God all praise and glory! 8 Ye who confess Christ's holy name, To God give praise and glory! Ye who the Father's power proclaim, To God give praise and glory! All idols under foot be trod, The Lord is God! The Lord is God! To God all praise and glory! 9 Then come before His presence now, And banish fear and sadness; To your Redeemer pay your vow, And sing with joy and gladness: Though great distress my soul befell, The Lord my God did all things well; To God all praise and glory!
