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.

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.

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?

Jerusalem my happy home

Appears in 622 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.

Wake up my muse, condole the loss

Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wake up my muse, condole the loss Of those that mourn this day— Let tears distil on every face, And every mourner pray. 2 The tyrant, Death, came rushing in, Last night his power did shew, Out of this world this child did take, Death laid its visage low. 3 No more the pleasant child is seen To please its parent's eye, The tender plant, so fresh and green, Is in eternity. 4 The golden bowl by Death is broke, The pitcher's burst in twain, The cistern-wheel has felt the stroke, The pleasant child is slain. 5 The winding-sheet doth bind its limbs, The coffin holds it fast, To-day it's seen by all its friends, But this must be the last. 6 Until the Lord doth come, to judge, The nations great and small, And you and I before him stand, And at his presence fall.

Listed into the cause of sin

Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Listed into the cause of sin, Why should a good be evil? Music alas! too long has been, Press'd to obey the Devil! Drunken, or lewd or light the lay Flows to the souls undoing, Widens, and strews the flow'rs the way Down to eternal ruin. 2 Who on the part of God will rise? Innocent mirth recover? Fly on the prey and take the prize, Plunder the carnal lover? Strip him of ev'ry moving strain, Ev'ry melting measure, Music in virtue's cause retain, Revive the holy pleasure, 3 Come let us try in Jesus's love Cannot as well inspire us: This is the theme of them above, This upon earth will fire us; Try if your hearts are tun'd to sing; Is there a subject greater? Melody all its strains may bring, Jesus' love is sweeter. 4 Jesus the soul of music is, He is the noblest passion; Jesus's name is life and peace, Happiness and salvation; Jesus's name the dead can raise, Shew us our sins forgiven, Fill us with all the life of grace, And carry us up to heaven. 5 Who hath a right like us to sing Us who his mercy raises? Merry our hearts for Christ is king, Joyful are all our faces. Who of his love doth once partake, He in the lord rejoices; Melody in our hearts we make, Melody with our voices. 6 He that a sprinkled conscience hath, He that in God is merry Let him sing psalms, the spirit saith, Joyful and never be weary; Offer the sacrifice of praise, Hearty and never ceasing; Spiritual songs and anthems raise, Worship and thanks and blessing. 7 Come let us in his praises join, Triumph in his salvation; Glory aspire to love divine, Worship and adoration: Heaven already is begun, Open'd in earth believer; Only believe, and then sing on, Heaven is yours forever.

Vital spark of heavenly flame

Appears in 275 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Vital spark of heavenly flame, Quit, O quit this mortal frame, Trembling, hoping, ling'ring, flying, O the pain, the bliss of dying! Cease, fond nature cease, thy strife, And let me languish into life. 2 Hark! they whisper, angels, angels say, Sister spirit, come away; What is this absorbs me quite? Steals my senses, shuts my sight, Drowns my spirits, draws my breath, Tell me, my soul, can this be death? 3 The world recedes, it disappears, Heaven opens on my eyes, my ears, With sounds seraphic rings, Lend, lend your wings, I mount, I fly, O grave, where is thy victory! O death, where is thy sting!

Zaccheus climb'd the tree

Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Zaccheus climb'd the tree, And thought himself unknown: But how surpriz'd was he, When Jesus call'd him down: The Lord beheld him tho' conceal'd, And by a word his pow'r reveal'd. 2 Wonder and joy at once Were painted in his face; "Does he my name pronounce, And does he know my case? Will Jesus deign with me to dine? Lord, I, with all I have is thine. 3 Thus, where the gospel's preach'd, And sinners come to hear: The hearts of some are reach'd, Before they are aware: The word directly speaks to them, And Jesus points them out by name. 4 'Tis curiosity Oft brings them in the way; Only the man to see, And hear what he can say; But how the sinner starts to find, The preacher knows his inmost mind. 5 His long forgotten faults Are brought again to view; And all his secret faults Expos'd in public too, Though compass'd with a croud about, The searching word has found him out. 6 While thus distressing pain, And sorrow fills the heart; He hears a voice again, That bids his fears depart: Then like Zaccheus he is blest, And Jesus deigns to be his guest.
