The Christian Church should well partake

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Luke 13:6-8 Lyrics: 1 The Christian Church should well partake The parable, the Saviour spake, To shew the Jews their wretched state, And what would shortly be their fate. 2 Such fig-trees, which in Vineyards grow, And carefully attended to; Ought in due time their fruit to yield, Like stores of corn from a good field. 3 Such was the Jewish nations case, Whilst they had all the means of grace! Like as a fig-tree on good ground, So did God's grace to them abound. 4 But when their fruits were truly sought And their works proven which they wrought, All was corrupted, base and mean; Their best devotions were but sin. 5 And as the master gave command, Let not that barron fig-tree stand; His orders were to cut it down, Why should it cumber so much ground?

Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,222 hymnals Scripture: Luke 13:34 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to thy bosom fly, while the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high. Hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past. Safe into the haven guide. O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; hangs my helpless soul on thee. Leave, ah! leave me not alone; still support and comfort me. All my trust on thee is stayed; all my help from thee I bring. Cover my defenseless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; more than all in thee I find. Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name; I am all unrighteousness. False and full of sin I am; thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin. Let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art; freely let me take of thee. Spring thou up within my heart. Rise to all eternity.

O'er the tumult of our life's wild, restless sea, day by day his clear voice soundeth, saying, "Christian, follow me!" 2 As of old Saint Andrew heard it by the Galilean lake, turned from home and toil and kindred, leaving all for his dear sake. 3 Jesus calls us from the worship of the vain world's golden store; from each idol that would keep us, saying, "Christian, love me more." 4 In our joys and in our sorrows, days of toil and hours of ease, still he calls, in cares and pleasures, "Christian, love me more than these." 5 Jesus calls us! By thy mercies, Saviour, may we hear thy call, give our hearts to thine obedience, serve and love thee best of all. Topics: Call and Vocation; Andrew; Discipleship; Evangelism Used With Tune: ST.
