Justifying Grace Repentance
My words believingly receive ; Quicken'd your souls by faith divine, An everlasting life shall live." HYMN 5. WstflVs. 1 nr^HY faithfulness, Lord, Each moment we find, -*- So true to thy word, So loving and kind ; Thy mercy so tender To all the lost race, The vilest offender May turn and find grace. 2 The mercy I feel, To others I show, 1 set to my seal That Jesus is true : Ye all may find favour, Who come at his call ; O come to my Saviour, His grace is for all. 3 To save what was lost, From heaven he came \ Come, sinners, and trust In Jesus's name ! He ofTers you pardon; He bids you be free : " If sin be your burden, O come unto me!" J~ Exhorting Sinners to return to God. '& 4 () let me commend My Saviour to you ; The Publican's Friend, And Advocate too : For you lie is pleading His merits and deatli ; With God interceding For sinners beneath. 5 Then let us submit His grace to receive; Fall down at his feet, And gladly believe: We all are forgiven, For Jesus's sake : Our title to heaven, His merits we take. HYMN 6. Ts. 1 CINXERS, turn, why will ye die? ^ God, your Maker, asks you why : God, who did your being give, Made yon with himself to live ; He the fatal cause demands, Asks the work of his own hands, Why, ye thankless creatures, why Will ye cross his love, and die ? 2 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, your Saviour, asks you why : God, who did your souls retrieve, Died himself, that ye might live. Will you let him die in vain ? Crucify your Lord again ? Why, ye ransom'd sinners, why Will you slight his grace, and die ? 3 Sinners, turn, why will ye die ? God, the Spirit, asks you why : He who all your lives hath strove, Woo'd you to embrace his love : Will you not his grace receive? Will you still refuse to live? Why, ye long-sought sinners, win Will you grieve your God, and die? Exhorting Sinners to return to God. id vs
