Call them in! the poor, the wretched

Author: Anna Shipton Meter: 8.7 D Appears in 73 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Call them in! the poor, the wretched, Sin-stained wanderers from the fold; Peace and pardon freely offer! Can you weigh their worth with gold? Call them in! the weak, the weary, Laden with the doom of sin; Bid them come and rest in Jesus! He is waiting: call them in! 2 Call them in! the Jew, the Gentile; Bid the stranger to the feast! Call them in! the rich, the noble, From the highest to the least. Forth the Father runs to meet them, He hath all their sorrows seen; Robe, and ring, and kiss of pardon, Wait the lost ones: call them in! 3 Call them in! the broken-hearted, Cowering 'neath the brand of shame; Speak love's message low and tender! 'Twas for sinners Jesus came. See the shadows lengthen round us, Soon the day-dawn will begin; Call them in! the lost and lonely; Christ is coming: call them in! Amen.

The Burden Of The Bells

Author: Ida S. Taylor Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Oh! the Christmas bells are ringing Lyrics: 1 Oh! the Christmas bells are ringing, All the world is wide awake, And the chorus as it echoes Makes the mighty steeples shake. Miles away its tide is swelling, As if it would never cease, And the burden of its music Is a rolling wave of peace. 2 All the leafless branches, swinging, In the cold December air, Soft are breathing forth its cadence Like the murmur of a prayer; And they bend above each other With their wintry robes of fleece In a gentle benediction Breathing forth a hymn of peace. 3 So the pastor to his people, On this blessèd Christmas day, Gives a lesson full of meaning For each one to take away; And he gently bids the mourner, Who from grief would seek release, At the cross to drop his burden, Where the Savior giveth peace. 4 Lo! the cross is full of healing, And the crown is lying near With its wealth of jewels, gleaming, Like the sunlight of a tear. And today our hearts will gladden— May the echo never cease As we sing our love of Jesus Who will crown us with His peace. 5 "Peace on earth!" How dear the blessing As it comes from Heaven and here Drops its tenderness upon us At the closing of the year. So abiding in God’s keeping With the bells, our hearts will chime "Peace on earth!" Oh, gracious promise! "Peace on earth, at Christmas time." Used With Tune: FABEN
