Repentance
10 With me, your chief, ye then shall know, Shall feel, your sins forgiven; Anticipate your heaven below, And own that love is heaven. HYMN 2. l. m. 1 /^OME, sinners, to the gospel feast ; ^-^ Let every soul be Jesu's guest ; Ye need not one be left behind, For God hath bidden all mankind. 2 Sent by my Lord, on you I call ; The invitation is to all : Come, all the world ; come, sinner, thou ; All things in Christ are ready now. 3 Come, all ye souls by sin opprest, Ye restless wanderers after rest, Ye poor, and maini'd, and halt, and blind. In Christ a hearty welcome find. Exhorting Sinners to return to God. 9 4 Come, and partake the gospel feast ; Be saved from sin ; in Jesus rest : O taste the goodness of your God, And eat his flesh, and drink his blood ! 5 Ye vagrant souls, on you I call ; (O that my voice could reach you all !) Ye all may now be justified ; Ye all may live, for Christ hath died. 6 My message as from God receive ; Ye all may come to Christ, and live ; O let his love your hearts constrain, Nor suffer him to die in vain ! 7 His love is mighty to compel ; His conquering love consent to feel ; Yield to his love's resistless power, And fight against your God no more. 8 See him set forth before your eyes, That precious, bleeding Sacrifice ! His offer'd benefits embrace, And freely now be saved by grace. 9 This is the time ; no more delay ; This is the acceptable day; Come in, this moment, at his call, And live for him who died for all. HYMN 3. 10's §■ IVs. 1 f~\ ALL that pass by, To Jesus draw near , ^S He utters a cry, Ye sinners, give ear ! From hell to retrieve you, He spreads out his hands ; Now, now to receive you, He graciously stands. 2 If any man thirst, And happy would be, The vilest and worst May come unto me ; May drink of my Spirit, Excepted is none, Lay claim to my merit, And take for his own. JO Exhorting Si 'liners to return to God.
