Life is the time to serve the Lord

Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #829 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Life is the time to serve the Lord, The time t' insure the great reward; And while the lamp holds out to burn, The vilest sinner may return. 2 Life is the hour that God has given To escape from hell and fly to heaven; The day of grace; and mortals may Secure the blessings of the day. 3 Then what my thoughts design to do, My hands, with all your might pursue; Since no device, nor work is found, Nor faith, nor hope, beneath the ground. 4 There are no acts of pardon past In the cold grave to which we haste; But darkness, death, and long despair Reign in eternal silence there. Scripture: Proverbs 1:24-32

Come, trembling sinner, in whose breast

Author: Jones Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #830 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Come, trembling sinner, in whose breast A thousand thoughts revolve; Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed, And make this last resolve: 2 I'll go to Jesus, though my sins Like mountains round me close; I know his courts: I'll enter in, Whatever may oppose. 3 Prostrate I'll lie before his throne, And there my guilt confess; I'll tell him I'm a wretch undone, Without his sovereign grace. 4 Perhaps he will admit my plea, Perhaps will hear my prayer; But if I perish, I will pray, And perish only there. 5 I can not perish if I go: I am resolved to try; For if I stay away, I know I must for ever die. Scripture: 2 Kings 7:3-5

Where mercy spreads her bounteous store For every humble guest. 2 Jesus, with open arms, Is calling you to come; Guilt holds you back, and fear alarms; But see, there yet is room. 3 Room in the Saviour's heart; There love and pity meet; Nor will he bid the soul depart That trembles at his feet. 4 The Father, reconciled, Invites your souls to come; The rebel shall be called a child, And find in Christ a home. Scripture: Isaiah 44:22

A fountain is open, how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in his pardoning blood? 3 Delay not, delay not, O 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, the heavens shall fade; The dead, small and great, in the judgment shall stand; What power then, O sinner, will lend thee its aid?

On the bloody tree behold him; Hear him cry, before he dies, It is finished!

Sinners here may do the same. Scripture: Isaiah 45:22
