Praise for Conversion

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CDXXXVII (1792) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Come, ye that fear the lord Lyrics: 1 Come, ye that fear the Lord, And listen while I tell, How narrowly my feet escap'd The snares of death and hell. 2 The flatt'ring joy of sense Assail'd my foolish heart, While Satan, with malicious skill, Guided the poisonous dart. 3 I fell beneath the stroke, But fell to rise again; My anguish rous'd me into life, And pleasure sprung from pain. 4 Darkness, and shame, and grief Oppress'd my gloomy mind; I look'd around me for relief, But no relief could find. 5 At length, to God I cry'd; He heard my plaintive sigh, He heard, and instantly he sent Salvation from on high. 6 My drooping head he rais'd, My bleeding wounds he heal'd, Pardon'd my sins, and with a smile The gracious pardon seal'd. 7 O! may I ne'er forget The mercy of my God; Nor ever want a tongue to spread His loudest praise abroad.

Doubt no more! 2 Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome; God's free bounty glorify: True belief, and true repentance, Every grace that brings you nigh— Without money, Come to Jesus Christ, and buy. 3 Let not conscience make you linger, Nor of fitness fondly dream; All the fitness he requireth, Is to feel your need of him: This he gives you; 'Tis the Spirit's rising beam. 4 Come, ye weary, heavy laden, Lost and ruin'd by the fall! If you tarry till you're better, You will never come at all; Not the righteous, Sinners Jesus came to call. 5 View him prostrate in the garden; On the ground your Maker lies! On the bloody tree behold him; Hear him cry, before he dies, "It is FINISHED:" Sinner, will not this suffice? 6 Lo, th' incarnate God, ascended, Pleads the merit of his blood; Venture on him, venture wholly, Let no other trust intrude; None but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good. 6 Saints and angels, join'd in concert, Sing the praises of the Lamb: While the blissful seats of Heaven, Sweetly echo with his mame; Hallelujah! Sinners, here, may sing the same. Topics: Scripture Invitations and Promises; Christ Savior able and willing; Come and welcome to Jesus Christ; Encouragement and invitation Languages: English

Author: Newton Hymnal: SHBA1792 #DLXXVII (1792) First Line: Day of judgment, day of wonders Lyrics: 1 Day of judgment, day of wonders! Hark the trumpet's awful sound, Louder than a thousand thunders, Shakes the vast creation round!

Gracious savior, Own me on that day for thine! 3 At his call, the dead awaken, Rise to life from earth and sea; All the powers of nature, shaken By his looks, prepare to flee: Careless sinner, What will then become of thee? 4 Horrors past imagination, Will surprise your trembling heart, When you hear your condemnation, "Hence, accursed wretch, depart! "Thou with satan, "And his angels, have thy part!" 5 But to those who have confessed, Lov'd and serv'd the Lord, below; He will say, "come near, ye blessed, "See the kingdom I bestow: "You for ever "Shall my Love and glory know." 6 Under sorrows and Reproaches, May this thought our courage raise! Swiftly God's great day approaches, Sighs shall then be chang'd to praise: May we triumph When the World is in a a blaze. Topics: The Day of Judgment Languages: English

The Farewell

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CDII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Dead be my heart to all below Lyrics: 1 Dead be my heart to all below, To mortal joys and mortal cares; To sensual bliss that charms us so, But dark, mine eyes, and deaf my ears. 2 Lord, I renounce my carnal taste Of the fair fruit that sinners prize; Their paradise shall never waste One thought of mine, but to despise. 3 All earthly joy are over weigh'd With mountains of vexatious care: And where's the sweet that is not laid A bate to some destructive snare? 4 Begone, forever, mortal things! Thou mighty mole-hill, earth, farewell! Angels aspire on lofty wings, And leave the globe for ants to dwell. 5 Come heaven, and fill my vast desires, My soul pursues the sovereign good: She was all made of heavenly fires, Nor can she live on meaner food.
