The Issues of Life and Death
The Cry of the Mortal
Hymnal: The Psalter #244 (1912) Topics: Danger of Delay First Line: Lord, thro' all the generations Lyrics: 1 Lord, thro' all the generations
Of the children of our race,
In our fears and tribulations,
Thou hast been our dwelling-place.
Ere the vast and wide creation
By Thy word was cased to be,
Or the mountains held their station,
Thou art God eternally.
2 Each succeeding generation
At Thy mighty word appears;
Thou dost count in time's duration
One day as a thousand years.
Death, with swift and sudden warning,
Calls us from life's dream away,
Like the grass, green in the morning,
Withered ere the close of day.
3 In Thy wrath our spirits languish,
Sinful 'neath Thy searching eye;
All our days are passed in anguish,
In Thy wrath we pine and id.
Threescore years and ten we tarry,
Fourscore years the strong may stay,
Long the load of grief to carry,
Till at last we fly away.
4 Who can weigh Thy just displeasure,
Who can fear Thee as he ought?
Teach us now our days to measure
And to wisdom turn our thought.
Lord, return, regard our sadness;
with Thy servants now abide;
Fill our days with joy and gladness,
With Thy mercy satisfied.
5 Long the clouds of evil lower;
Bless us now with gladsome days;
Let Thy servants see Thy power,
Let their children learn Thy praise.
On us let the grace and beauty
Of the Lord our God remain,
Strengthen us for noble duty
That our work be not in vain. Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: ARMSTRONG
The Cry of the Mortal
A Pilgrim's Prayers
Hymnal: The Psalter #246 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Danger of Delay First Line: O teach Thou us to count our days Lyrics: 1 O teach Thou us to count our days,
And set our hearts on wisdom’s ways;
Turn, Lord, to us in our distress
In pity now Thy servants bless;
Let mercy’s dawn dispel our night,
And all our day with joy be bright,
And all our day with joy be bright.
2 O send the day of joy and light,
For long has been our sorrow’s night;
Afflicted through the weary years,
We wait until Thy help appears;
From age to age with us abide;
In us let God be glorified,
In us let God be glorified.
3 So let there be on us bestowed
The beauty of the Lord our God;
The work accomplished by our hand
Establish Thou, and make it stand;
Yea, let our hopeful labor be
Established evermore by thee.
Established evermore by thee. Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: SANDS

An Invitation to Worship
Hymnal: The Psalter #254 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Danger of Delay First Line: O come before the Lord, our King Lyrics: 1 O come before the Lord, our King,
And in His presence let us sing;
Let us in glad and joyful lays
The Rock of our salvation praise;
Before Him come with thankful song
In joyful psalms His praise prolong.
2 Almighty pow'r the Lord maintains,
Exalted over all He reigns;
He holds the valleys in His hand,
He makes the mighty mountains stand;
To Him belong both land and sea,
Creator of the world is He.
3 O come and let us worship now,
Before our maker let us bow;
We are His sheep and He our God,
He feeds our souls in pastures broad;
He safely leads us in the way;
O come and heed His voice today.
4 Take heed and harden not your heart
As did our fathers, nor depart
From God to follow in their ways;
For with complaints instead of praise,
With doubt instead of faith confessed,
They put His mercy to the test.
5 Take heed that ye provoke Him not
As did your fathers, who forgot,
With erring heart, God's holy ways
And grieved Him all their sinful days;
To whom in wrath Jehovah sware,
My promised rest they shall not share. Scripture: Psalm 95 Languages: English Tune Title: SALOME

Adoration and Submission
Hymnal: The Psalter #255 (1912) Topics: Danger of Delay First Line: Now with joyful exultation Lyrics: 1 Now with joyful exultation
Let us sing Jehovah's praise;
To the Rock of our salvation
Loud hosannas let us raise;
Thankful tribute gladly bringing,
Let us come before Him now,
And, with psalms His praises singing,
Joyful in His presence bow.
2 For, how great a God, and glorious,
Is Jehovah Whom we sing;
Over idol-gods victorious,
Great is He, our God and King.
In His hand are earth's deep places,
His the strength of all the hills;
His the sea whose bounds He traces,
His the land His bounty fills.
3 To the Lord, such might revealing,
Let us come with rev'rence meet,
And, before our Maker kneeling,
Let us worship at His feet.
He is our own God who leads us,
We the people of His care;
With a shepherd's hand He feeds us
As His flock in pastures fair.
4 While He proffers peace and pardon
Let us hear His voice today,
Lest, if we our hearts should harden,
We should perish in the way;
Lest to us, so unbelieving,
He in judgment should declare:
Ye, so long my Spirit grieving,
Never in My rest can share. Scripture: Psalm 95 Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE DIVINE
Adoration and Submission
Behold! the mountain of the Lord
Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #272 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Danger of Delay Lyrics: 1 Behold! the mountain of the Lord
In latter days shall rise
On mountain tops above the hills,
And draw the wond'ring eyes.
2 To this the joyful nations round,
All tribes and tongues, shall flow;
Up to the hill of God, they'll say,
And to his house we'll go.
3 The beam that shines from Zion hill
Shall lighten ev'ry land;
The King who reigns in Salem's tow'rs
Shall all the world command.
4 Among the nations he shall judge;
His judgments truth shall guide;
His sceptre shall protect the just,
And quell the sinner's pride.
5 Come then, O house of Jacob, come
To worship at his shrine;
And, walking in the light of God,
With holy beauties shine.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 2:2 Languages: English Tune Title: GLASGOW

The call of love

The call of love divine?
Shall God, with tenderness, invite,
And gain no thought of thine?
2 Wilt thou not cease to grieve
The Spirit from thy breast,
Till he thy wretched soul shall leave
With all thy sins oppressed?
3 To-day a pardoning God
Will hear the suppliant pray;
To-day a Saviour's cleansing blood,
Will wash thy guilt away. Scripture: Genesis 6:3 Languages: English Tune Title: OWEN

Behold a stranger at the door
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #283 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Delay of Repentance Lyrics: 1 Behold a stranger at the door;
He gently knocks, has knock'd before;
Hath waited long, is waiting still:
You treat no other friend so ill.
2 O lovely attitude! He stands
With melting heart and loaded hands;
Oh, matchless kindness! and He shows
This matchless kindness to His foes!
3 But will He prove a friend indeed?
He will; the very friend you need;
The friend of sinners--yes, 'tis He,
With garments dyed on Calvary.
4 Rise, touch'd with gratitude divine;
Turn out His enemy and thine,
That soul-destroying monster sin,
And let the heavenly Stranger in.
5 Admit Him e're His anger burn,
His feet departed ne'er return;
Admit Him, or the hour's at hand
You'll at His door rejected stand. Languages: English
Behold a stranger at the door
"Why not to-night!"
Author: Mrs. Elizabeth Reed Hymnal: Laudes Domini #284 (1888) Topics: Delay First Line: Oh, do not let the Word depart Lyrics: 1 Oh, do not let the word depart,
And close thine eyes against the light;
Poor sinner, harden not thy heart:
Thou wouldst be saved; why not to-night?
2 To-morrow's sun may never rise
To bless thy long-deluded sight;
This is the time; oh, then be wise!
Thou wouldst be saved; why not to-night?
3 Our God in pity lingers still;
And wilt thou thus his love requite?
Renounce at length thy stubborn will;
Thou wouldst be saved; why not to-night?
4 Our blessed Lord refuses none
Who would to him their souls unite;
Then be the work of grace begun:
Thou wouldst be saved; why not to-night? Scripture: James 4:14 Languages: English Tune Title: ASHWELL
"Why not to-night!"
"Why will ye die!"
Author: Josiah Hopkins Hymnal: Laudes Domini #285 (1888) Topics: Delay First Line: Oh, turn ye, oh, turn ye, for why will ye die Lyrics: 1 Oh, turn ye, oh, turn ye, for why will ye die,
When God in great mercy is coming so nigh?
Now Jesus invites you, the Spirit says, Come,
And angels are waiting to welcome you home.
2 And now Christ is ready your souls to receive,
Oh, how can you question, if you will believe?
If sin is your burden, why will you not come?
'Tis you he bids welcome; he bids you come home. Scripture: Ezekiel 18:31 Languages: English Tune Title: EXPOSTULATION
"Why will ye die!"
