When the harvest is past, and the summer is gone

Appears in 96 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Warned and Entreated Lyrics: 1 When the harvest is past, and the summer is gone, And sermons and prayers shall be o'er, When the beams cease to break of the blest Sabbath morn, And Jesus invites thee no more; 2 When the rich gales of mercy no longer shall blow, The gospel no message declare,-- Sinner, how canst thou bear the deep wailing of woe? How suffer the night of despair? 3 When the holy have gone to the regions of peace, To dwell in the mansions above; When their harmony wakes, in the fullness of bliss, Their song to the Saviour of love,-- 4 Say, oh sinner, that livest at rest and secure, Who fearest no trouble to come, Can thy spirit the swellings of sorrow endure, Or bear the impenitent's doom?

Does the gospel word proclaim

Author: John Newton Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 Does the gospel word proclaim Rest for those that weary be? Then, my soul, put in thy claim; 'Tis that promise speaks to thee. 2 Marks of grace I cannot show, All polluted is my best; But I weary am, I know, And the weary long for rest. 3 Burdened with a load of sin. Harassed with tormenting doubt; Hourly conflicts from within, Hourly crosses from without. 4 All my little strength is gone, Sink must I without supply; Sure upon the earth is none Can more weary be than I. 5 In the ark the weary dove Found a welcome resting place; Thus my spirit longs to prove Rest in Christ, the Ark of grace.

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 117 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Strait is the way, the door is strait, That leads to joys on high; 'Tis but a few that find the gate, While thousands pass it by. 2 Beloved self must be denied, The mind and will renewed, Passion suppressed, and patience tried, And vain desires subdued. 3 Lord! can a feeble, helpless worm Fulfill a task so hard? Thy grace must all my work perform, And give the free reward. Used With Tune: MELODY

Let carnal minds the world pursue

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 252 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 Let carnal minds the world pursue, It has no charms for me; Once, I admir'd its trifles too, But grace has set me free. 2 Its fading charms no longer please, No more content afford; Far from my heart be joys like these, Now I have seen the Lord. 3 As by the light of op'ning day, The stars are all conceal'd; So earthly pleasures fade away, When Jesus is reveal'd. 4 Creatures no more divide my choice-- I bid them all depart; His name, and love, and gracious voice, Have fix'd my roving heart. 5 Now, Lord, I would be thine alone, And wholly live to thee; But may I hope that thou wilt own A worthless worm like me? Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17

Pride and Death; or, The Vanity of Life and Riches

Appears in 45 hymnals Topics: Death of saints and sinners; Prosperous sinners cursed; Death of saints and sinners; Prosperous sinners cursed First Line: Why doth the man of riches grow Lyrics: 1 Why doth the man of riches grow To insolence and pride, To see his wealth and honours flow With every rising tide. 2 [Why doth he treat the poor with scorn, Made of the self-same clay, And boast as though his flesh was born Of better dust than they?] 3 Not all his treasures can procure His soul a short reprieve, Redeem from death one guilty hour, Or make his brother live. 4 Eternal life can ne'er be sold, The ransom is too high; Justice will ne'er be brib'd with gold, That man may never die. 5 He sees the brutish and the wise, The timorous and the brave, Quit their possessions, close their eyes, And hasten to the grave. 6 Yet 'tis his inward thought and pride, "My house shall ever stand; "And that my name may long abide, "I'll give it to my land." 7 Vain are his thoughts, his hopes are lost, How soon his memory dies! His name is written in the dust, Where his own body lies. Pause. 8 This is the folly of their way And yet their sons as vain Approve the words their fathers say, And act their works again. 9 Men void of wisdom and of grace, Tho' honour raise them high, Live like the beast, a thoughtless race, And like the beast they die. 10 [Laid in the grave like silly sheep, Death triumphs o'er them there, Till the last trumpet breaks their sleep, And wakes them in despair.] Scripture: Psalm 49:6-14

Refrain: Angels of Jesus, angels of light, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night! 2 Onward we go, for still we hear them singing, "Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come;" And, through the dark its echoes sweetly ringing, The music of the Gospel leads us home. [Refrain] 3 Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing, The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea, And laden souls by thousands meekly stealing, King Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee. [Refrain] 4 Rest comes at length; though life be long and dreary, The day must dawn, and dark-some night be passed; Faith's journey ends in welcome to the weary, And heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last. [Refrain] 5 Angels, sing on! your faithful watches keeping, Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above, Till morning's joy shall end the night of weeping, And life's long shadows break in cloudless love.
