Only a Sinner

Lyrics: 1 Naught have I gotten but what I received; Grace hath bestowed it since I have believed; Boasting excluded pride I abase; I'm only a sinner saved by grace! Chorus: Only a sinner saved by grace! Only a sinner saved by grace! This is my story, to God be the glory, - I'm only a sinner saved by grace! 2 Once I was foolish, and sin ruled my heart, Causing my footsteps from God to depart; Jesus hath found me happy my case; I now am a sinner saved by grace! [Chorus] 3 Tears unavailing, no merit had I; Mercy had saved me, or else I must die; Sin had alarmed me fearing God's face; But now I'm a sinner saved by grace! [Chorus] 4 Suffer a sinner whose heart overflows, Loving his Savior to tell what he knows, Once more to tell it would I embrace - I'm only a sinner saved by grace! [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Naught have I gotten but what I received]

Lyrics: 1 Sinner, art thou still secure? Wilt thou still refuse to pray? Can thy heart or hands endure In the Lord's avenging day! 2 See, his mighty arm is bar'd! Awful terrors clothe his brow! For his judgment stand prepar'd, Thou must either break or bow. 3 At his presence nature shakes, Earth affrighted hastes to flee; Solid mountains melt like wax, What will then become of thee? 4 Who his advent may abide? You that glory in your shame, Will you find a place to hide When the world is wrapped in flame? 5 Then the rich, the great, the wise, Trembling, guilty, self-condemn'd; Must behold the wrathful eyes Of the Judge they once blasphem'd. 6 Where are now their haughty looks, Oh, their horror and despair! When they see the open'd books, And their dreadful sentence hear! 7 Lord, prepare us by thy grace! Soon we must resign our breath; And our souls be call'd to pass Through the iron gate of death. 8 Let us now our day improve, Listen to the gospel voice; Seek the things that are above; Scorn the world's pretended joys.

Come, O Sinner, All Is Ready

Lyrics: 1 "Come, O sinner, all is ready!" Hear the loving Saviour plead, From death's dungeon He would free thee, On the living pathway lead. Know the Father's will to save: Yet a day of grace He gave; Hearken to the voice that calls thee, Ere His righteous doom befalls thee. 2 If thou to the Lord's entreaties Close thine ears and lock thy heart, If thou spurn the hand that beckons Thee from evil ways apart, Soon that gentle voice may cease: Know the things unto thy peace, Ere the door shall close forever, thee from heav'nly bliss to sever. 3 But if thou in deep contrition Ownest to thy helplessness, Trusting solely in His merit Who achieved thy righteousness, Hearken, then, unto His call. At His table humbly fall, There receive the food fro heaven For thy faith's sustention given. 4 Lord and Saviour, keep and guide me By Thy gospel light, I pray, That the world by her seductions Draw me not from Thee away. In Thy body and Thy blood Give me now that precious food Which Thy witness here shall make me, Till to thine abode Thou take me. Amen, Scripture: Matthew 22:4 Languages: English Tune Title: WERDE MUNTER, MEIN GEMÜTHE

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #274 (1867) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Man a Sinner Warned and Entreated Lyrics: 1 Delay not, delay not, oh sinner! draw near; The waters of life are now flowing for thee: No price is demanded; the Savior is here; Redemption is purchased, salvation is free. 2 Delay not, delay not; why longer abuse The love and compassion of Jesus, thy God? A fountain is open; how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood? 3 Delay not, delay not, oh sinner! to come, For mercy still lingers, and calls thee to-day; Her voice is not heard in the vale of the tomb: Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away. 4 Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of grace, Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight; And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the gloom of eternity’s night. 5 Delay not, delay not: the hour is at hand, The earth shall dissolve, and the heavens shall fade; The dead, small and great, in the judgment shall stand; What helper, then, sinner, shall lend thee his aid?
