Weary of Earth

Author: Rev. Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: Christ in Song #121 (1908) Topics: Special Selections Choir or Quartet First Line: Weary of earth and laden with my sin Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth and laden with my sin, I look to heav'n and long to enter in; But there no evil thing may find a home: And yet I hear a voice that bids me "Come." 2 The while I fain would tread the heav'nly way, Evil is ever with me day by day; Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall, "Repent, return, thou shalt be loos'd from all." 3 Cease, restless will! thy lonely strife resign! I know too well how little strength is mine; Grant me, dear Lord, thy saving love to see: I strive no more, I give myself to thee. Languages: English Tune Title: LANGRAN

He Is Calling

Author: Faber Hymnal: Christ in Song #128 (1908) Topics: Special Selections Ladies' Voices First Line: There's a wideness in God's mercy Refrain First Line: He is calling, "Come to me;" Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy, Like the wideness of the sea; There's a kindness in his justice, Which is more than liberty. Refrain: He is calling, "Come to me;" Lord, I gladly follow thee! 2 There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Saviour; There is healing in his blood. [Refrain] 3 There's no place where earthly sorrows Are more felt than up in heav'n; There's no place where earthly failings Have such kindly judgment giv'n. [Refrain] 4 For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. [Refrain] 5 But we make his love too narrow, By false limits of our own; And we magnify his strictness With a zeal he will not own. [Refrain] 6 If our love were but more simple, We should take him at his word; And our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [There's a wideness in God's mercy]

Nothing But Leaves

Author: L. E. A. Hymnal: Christ in Song #131 (1908) Topics: Special Selections Solos First Line: Nothing but leaves! The Spirit grieves Lyrics: 1 Nothing but leaves! The Spirit grieves O'er years of wasted life; O'er sins indulged while conscience slept, O'er vows and promises unkept, And reap from years of strife Nothing but leaves! Nothing but leaves! 2 Nothing but leaves! No gathered sheaves Of life's fair ripening grain: We sow our seeds; lo! tares and weeds, Words, idle words, for earnest deeds, Then reap, with toil and pain, Nothing but leaves! Nothing but leaves! 3 Nothing but leaves! Sad mem'ry weaves No vail to hide the past; And as we trace our weary way, And count each lost and misspent day, We sadly find at last Nothing but leaves! Nothing but leaves. 4 Ah, who shall thus The Master meet, And bring but withered leaves? Ah, who shall at the Saviour's feet, Before the awful judgment seat Lay down for golden sheaves, Nothing but leaves! Nothing but leaves! Languages: English Tune Title: [Nothing but leaves! The Spirit grieves]

Come now to life's waters, ye thirsty ones, come. Languages: English Tune Title: [The last call of mercy now lingers for thee]
