Would You Believe?

Author: Caroline Sawyer Hymnal: Christ in Song #22 (1908) Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance First Line: If you could see Christ standing here tonight Refrain First Line: Would you believe and Jesus receive Lyrics: 1 If you could see Christ standing here tonight, His thorn-crown'd head and pierced hands could view; Could see those eyes that beam with heavn's own light, And hear Him say, "Beloved, 'twas for you:" Chorus: Would you believe, and Jesus receive, If He were standing here? Would you believe, and Jesus receive, If He were standing here? 2 If you could see that face so calm and sweet, Those lips that spake words only pure and true; Could see the nail prints in His tender feet, And hear Him say, "Beloved, 'twas for you:" [Chorus] 3 He whispers to your heart, turn not away, For He's beside you, in your narrow pew; If you will listen, you will hear Him say In loving tones "Beloved, 'twas for you."

Repeating Calvary

Author: F. E. B. Hymnal: Christ in Song #23 (1908) Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance New Birth First Line: I cannot drive the nails again Lyrics: 1 I cannot drive the nails again, I cannot thrust the spear of pain, I cannot bear to see His grief and agony, Repeating Calvary By tho't of sin, Repeating Calvary By tho't of sin. 2 'Twas sin alone that nailed Him there, 'Twas love alone that made Him bear; Sin's wage of death, our due, Upon himself He drew That we may live anew, His glory share, That we may live anew, His glory share. 3 His power frees from fetters strong, All who confess and turn from wrong: He could have shunned the pain. Sin's pow'r would yet remain: Now law and pardon reign, The angels' song, Now law and pardon reign, The angels' song. 4 My soul abhors His murd'rer sin, No longer shall He dwell within; But Christ, the living law, Victor in holy war, Enthroned forevermore, Gives pow'r to win, Enthroned forevermore, Gives pow'r to win. Languages: English Tune Title: [I cannot drive the nails again]

Tho' I've wandered far from his fold, Bringing to my heart pain and woe, Wash me in the blood of the Lamb, And I shall be whiter than snow. Chorus: Whiter than the snow, Whiter than the snow, Wash me in the blood of the Lamb, And I shall be whiter than snow. 2 Thorny was the crown that he wore, And the cross his body o'er came; Grievous were the sorrows he bore, But he suffered thus not in vain. May I to the Fountain be led, Made to cleanse my sins here below; Wash me in the blood that he shed, And I shall be whiter than snow. [Chorus] 3 Father, I have wandered from thee, Often has my heart gone astray: Crimson do my sins seem to me, Water cannot wash them away. Jesus, to that Fountain of thine, Leaning on thy promise I go; Cleanse me by thy washing divine, And I shall be whiter than snow.
