Come to the Saviour now

Wigner Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 85 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come to the Saviour now, He gently calleth thee; In true repentance bow, Before Him bend the knee; He waiteth to bestow Salvation, peace, and love, True joy on earth below, A home in heaven above. 2 Come to the Saviour now, Ye who have wandered far; Renew your solemn vow, For His by right you are; Come, like poor wandering sheep Returning to His fold; His arm will safely keep, His love will ne'er grow cold. 3 Come to the Saviour, all, Whate'er your burdens be; Hear now His loving call, "Cast all your care on Me." Come, and for every grief In Jesus you will find A sure and safe relief, A loving Friend and kind. Amen.

All nature's works His praise declare

Author: Rev. Henry Ware, Jr. Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 39 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All nature's works His praise declare, To whom they all belong; There is a voice in every star, In every breeze a song. Sweet music fills the world abroad With strains of love and power; The stormy sea sings praise to God, The thunder and the shower. 2 To God the tribes of ocean cry, And birds upon the wing; To God the powers that dwell on high Their tuneful tribute bring. Like them, let man the throne surround, With them loud chorus raise, While instruments of loftier sound Assist his feeble praise. 3 Great God, to Thee we consecrate Our voices and our skill; We bid the pealing organ wait To speak alone Thy will. Lord, while the music round us floats May earth-born passions die; O grant its rich and swelling notes May lift our souls on high! Amen.
