Peace to me, peace to me;

His pard'ning grace my soul received,
And was from sin and death retrieved,
Mercy's free, mercy's free.

Mercy's free, mercy's free;
Ye ministers of God, declare it,
Mercy's free, mercy's free,
Visit the heathen's dark abode,
Proclaim to all the love of God,
And spread the glorious news abroad,
Mercy's free, mercy's free.
4 Long as I live I'll still be crying,
Mercy's free, mercy's free;
And thus shall be my theme when dying,
Mercy's free, mercy's free.
And when the vale of death I've passed,
When lodged above the stormy blast,
I'll sing while endless ages last,
Mercy's free, mercy's free. Languages: English Tune Title: [By faith I view my Saviour dying]

The Ninety and Nine
Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane Hymnal: Christ in Song #61 (1908) Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance First Line: There were ninety and nine that safely lay Lyrics: 1 There were ninety and nine that safely lay
In the shelter of the fold,
But one was out on the hills away,
Far off from the gates of gold;
Away on the mountains wild and bare,
Away from the tender Shepherd's care,
Away from the tender Shepherd's care.
2 "Lord, thou hast here Thy ninety and nine;
Are they not enough for Thee?"
But the Shepherd made answer: "One of mine
Has wander'd away from me,
And although the road be rough and steep,
I go to the desert to find my sheep,
I go to the desert to find my sheep."
3 But none of the ransom'd ever knew
How deep were the waters cross'd;
Nor how dark was the night that the Lord pass'd thro'
Ere He found His sheep that was lost.
Out in the desert He heard its cry,
Sick and helpless, and ready to die.
Sick and helpless, and ready to die.
4 "Lord, whence are these blood drops all the way
That mark out the mountains' track?"
They were shed for one who has gone astray,
Ere the Shepherd could bring him back."
"Lord, why are thy hands so rent and torn?"
They are pierc'd to-night by many a thorn."
"They are pierc'd to-night by many a thorn."
5 But all through the mountains, thunder riven,
And up from the rocky steep,
There rose a cry to the gate of heaven,
"Rejoice, I have found my sheep!"
And the angels sang around the throne,
"Rejoice for the Lord brings back His own!" Languages: English Tune Title: [There were ninety and nine that safely lay]

Has waited long is waiting still,
You treat no other friend so ill.

Gold tried by fire, and raiment clean;
Anoint thine eyes, that thou may'st see,
And put away thy stains from thee.

He offers now a final choice;
Thou art offensive, O lukewarm!
Therefore be zealous and reform.
4 His mission now is almost o'er,
Before the throne he'll plead no more;
The filthy must his filth retain,
He that is holy, so remain.
5 His locks with dews of night are wet,
But at thy heart he ling'reth yet.
Awake! and open wide the door;
Bid thy Beloved wait no more.
6 Yes, bring him in, a welcome guest;
So shalt thou in his presence rest,
And in communion sweet and free,
Shalt sup with him and he with thee.

Only Two Ways

One's a hill pathway of battle and praise;
The other leads downward; tho flow'ry it seem
Its joy is a phantom, its love is a dream
Its love is a dream, 'tis only a dream.
2 There are two guides for trav'lers, only two guides:
One's the Good Shepherd, e'en thro' the death tides;
The other, the serpent, beguiling with sin
Whose beauty external hides poison within,
Hides poison within, death poison within.
3 There are two homes for trav'lers, only two homes:
One's the fair city where evil ne'er comes;
The other, sin's wages, eternal and dread,
The fate of the lost ones, the doom of the dead.
The doom of the dead, the sorrowful dead.
4 Quickly enter the strait way, leading to life;
Shun the wide gateway of folly and strife.
The Spirit invites you this moment to come;
The Saviour is waiting to welcome you home;
To welcome you home, to welcome you home.

The toils clos'd around me, I knew no release,
But Jesus has found me and giv'n me His peace. [Chorus]
3 The pathway to Calv'ry is toilsome and hard,
Yet tread it, O faint me, and find thy reward;
Here lay down thy burden, and wash in the stream
That flows like a fountain thy soul to redeem. [Chorus]

Take with thee His gift of free pardon away;
Take Christ for thy Saviour, Redeemer, and Friend, His love will sustain thee secure to the end. [Chorus]
