Come all ye weary travellers

Appears in 58 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come all ye weary travellers, Come let us join and sing The everlasting praises Of Jesus Christ our King; We've had a tedious journey, And tiresome it is true; But see how many dangers The Lord has brought us through. 2 At first when Jesus found us, He call'd us unto him; And pointed out the danger Of falling into sin; The world, the flesh and Satan, Would prove a fatal snare; Unless we did reject them, By faith and humble pray'r; 3 But by our disobedience, With sorrow we confess, We had too long to wander, In a dark wilderness; Where we might soon have fainted, In that enchanted ground; But now and then a cluster Of pleasant grapes we found. 4 The pleasant fruits of Canaan, Gives life and joy and peace; Revives our drooping spirits, And faith and love increase: Confess our Lord and master, And run at his command; And hasten on our Journey, Unto the promis'd land. 5 In faith and hope and patience, We now are going on, The pleasant way to Canaan, Where Jesus Christ is gone: In peace and consolation, We're going to rejoice; And Jesus and his people, Forever be our choice. 6 Sinners why stand ye idle, While we do march along; Has conscience never told you, That you are going wrong. Down the broad road to ruin, To bear an endless curse? Forsake your ways of sinning, And come and go with us. 7 But if you will refuse it, We bid you all farewell; We're on the road to Canaan And you the way to hell; We're sorry for to leave you, We rather you would go; Come, try a bleeding Saviour, And feel salvation flow. 8 O sinners be awaken'd To see your dismal state; Repent and be converted, Before it is too late: Turn to the Lord by praying, And daily search his word; And never rest contented, Until you find the Lord. 8 Now to the King immortal Be everlasting praise, For in his holy service We long to spend our days; Till we arrive at Canaan, The celestial world above, With everlasting praises, To sing redeeming love.

Dear friends farewell, I now must go

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Dear friends farewell, I now must go The gospel for to preach; My master calls me so to do, His people for to teach. 2 While I was here, you have been dear, And have been very kind; But now in grace, I leave this place, And leave you all behind. 3 Weep not for me for here you see, My trials have been great; And now all you I bid adieu, And wish you all success. 4 Twill not be long before the church, Will altogether be; And you that love the lord below, Shall then your Saviour see. 5 There you shall join in songs divine, God's holy name shall praise; And view his smiles, forget the toils, Of these few evils days. 6 There you shall stand at his right hand, And in his presence dwell; And him adore for evermore So brethren, now farewell.

We've found the rock, the trav'ler cried

Appears in 54 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We've found the rock, the trav'ler cried The stone that all the prophets try'd. 2 Come, Christians, drink the balmy dew, 'Twas Christ that shed it new for you. 3 This costly mixture cures the soul Which sin and guilt has made so foul. 4 It makes me merry while I sing, And shout Salvation to my King. 5 There's glory glory in my soul; Come, mourners, see salvation roll; 6 I wish you would believe in God, And sink into the purple flood. 7 O Christians we have Heav'n to day—night; it shines around with dazzling ray—light: 8 And in this light we'll soar away Where there's no night but endless day. 9 O then we'll blow the golden flute, And praise the man that gain'd our suit: 10 Then Jesus in a shining vest, Will smile and lead us up to rest!

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.

Now begins the Heav'nly theme

Appears in 388 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now begins the Heav'nly theme, Sing aloud in Jesus's name; Ye who Jesus's goodness prove, Triumph in redeeming love. 2 Ye who see the Father's grace Beaming in the Saviour's face, While to Canaan on ye move Bless and praise redeeming love. 3 Mourning souls, dry up your tears, Banish all your guilty fears, See your guilt and curse remove, Cancel'd by redeeming love. 4 Yes, alas, who long have been Willing slaves of death and sin, Now from bliss no longer rove, Stop and taste redeeming love. 5 Welcome all by sin opprest, Welcome to a sacred rest; Nothing brought him from above, Nothing but redeeming love. 6 He subdu'd th' infernal pow'rs His tremendous foe and ours, To their cursed Empire drove, Mighty in redeeming love. 7 Hither then your music bring, Strike aloud each joyful string; Mortals join the hosts above; Join to praise redeeming love.

A solemn march we make

Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A solemn march we make, Towards the silent grave, A lodging all must quickly take, And carnal pleasure leave. 2 O what a striking scene, In this cold grave appears, A mortal turn'd to dust again, Quite spun out all his years. 3 And we who now attend, Must soon resign our breath, God will the solemn summons send, By dreadful ghastly death. 4 If I the next should be, That crumble with the dust; My soul what then becomes of thee? Hast thou a lot with Christ? 5 Since I attended here, My moments swiftly glide, And death upon their wings they bear, A quick, perpetual tide. 6 Now let me home return, And strive my soul to save; Lest I in Hell should ever burn, And with the damned rave. 7 Jesus, despised friend, I'll slight thy love no more; Dear Saviour now that spirit send Which I so griev'd before. 8 Then I'll prepare to meet, My Jesus at his bar, For ever worship at his feet, And sing his praises there.

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.

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]

Jerusalem my happy home

Appears in 623 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.
