Jesus sinners doth receive!

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #182 (1898) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Topics: Christ Receives Sinners Lyrics: 1 Jesus sinners doth receive! Let the lost and sorrowing hear it; Though in sin and shame they grieve, And Jehovah's anger merit, Here's what can their woe relieve: Jesus sinners doth receive. 2 No such mercy can we claim; But our blessed Lord hath spoken; He hath sworn by His great Name, And His Word cannot be broken. Heaven is open! O believe Jesus sinners doth receive. 3 As the shepherd seeks to find His lost sheep that from him strayeth, So hath Christ each soul in mind, And for its salvation prayeth; Fain He'd have each wanderer live: Jesus sinners doth receive. 4 Come, then, all by guilt oppressed, Jesus calls, and He would make you God's own children, pure and blest, And to glory He would take you; Think on this, and well believe Jesus sinners doth receive. 5 In my grief I now draw near, All my sinfullness confessing; Saviour, my petition hear, Grant me parden and Thy blessing; Help, O help me to believe Jesus sinners doth receive. 6 Cheered at thought of peace with God, Darkness yields to hopeful brightness Through the merit of Thy blood Scarlet sins are turned to whiteness As I say, and now believe, Jesus sinners doth receive! 7 Now my conscience is at peace; From the Law I stand acquitted; Christ hath purchased my release, And my every sin remitted. Naught remains my soul to grieve: Jesus sinners doth receive. 8 Jesus sinners doth receive, Me hath taken to His favor, Opened heaven that I may live With my Lord at home for ever; And in death this joy I have: Jesus sinners doth receive.

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns #120 (1844) Topics: Sinners Invited Lyrics: 1 Come, sinners, come to Jesus, Who died for you and me; 'Tis he alone who frees us From endless misery: In deep humiliation, His blessing now implore: The day of visitation With you will soon be o'er. 2 Sinners, what are you doing, Upon the verge of hell? You're hast'ning on to ruin, Where fiends and devils dwell. Can you endure for ever The vengeance of a God? Methinks I see you shiver Beneath his angry rod. 3 We all are prone to wander; How can we thus depart? But if to God we render An undivided heart, Though in the day of wonders, He comes reveal'd in fire, Amidst ten thousand thunders, We'll raise his praises higher. Languages: English

Psalm 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.1 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Happy saint and cursed sinner; Punishment of sinners; Saints and sinner's end; Saints and Sinners' portion; Saints happy, and sinners cursed; Sinner and saint's portion; Sinner cursed, and saint happy First Line: Blest is the man who shuns the place Lyrics: Blest is the man who shuns the place Where sinners love to meet; Who fears to tread their wicked ways, And hates the scoffer's seat: But in the statutes of the Lord Has placed his chief delight; By day he reads or hears the word, And meditates by night. [He, like a plant of gen'rous kind, By living waters set, Safe from the storms and blasting wind, Enjoys a peaceful state.] Green as the leaf, and ever fair, Shall his profession shine While fruits of holiness appear Like clusters on the vine. Not so the impious and unjust; What vain designs they form! Their hopes are blown away like dust, Or chaff before the storm. Sinners in judgment shall not stand Amongst the sons of grace, When Christ, the Judge, at his right hand Appoints his saints a place. His eye beholds the path they tread, His heart approves it well But crooked ways of sinners lead Down to the gates of hell. Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English

Or envy sinners waxing great By violence and lies? As flowery grass, cut down at noon, Before the ev'ning fades, So shall their glories vanish soon In everlasting shades. Then let me make the Lord my trust, And practise all that's good; So shall I dwell among the just, And he'll provide me food. I to my God my ways commit, And cheerful wait his will; Thy hand, which guides my doubtful feet, Shall my desires fulfil. Mine innocence shalt thou display, And make thy judgments known, Fair as the light of dawning day, And glorious as the noon. The meek at last the earth possess, And are the heirs of heav'n; True riches, with abundant peace, To humble souls are giv'n. Rest in the Lord, and keep his way, Nor let your anger rise, Though Providence should long delay To punish haughty vice. Let sinners join to break your peace, And plot, and rage, and foam; The Lord derides them, for he sees Their day of vengeance come. They have drawn out the threat'ning sword, Have bent the murd'rous bow, To slay the men that fear the Lord, And bring the righteous low. My God shall break their bows, and burn Their persecuting darts, Shall their own swords against them turn, And pain surprise their hearts. Scripture: Psalm 37:1-15 Languages: English
