Repeating Calvary

Author: F. E. B. Appears in 1 hymnal 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. Used With Tune: [I cannot drive the nails again]

O Come Before the Lord, Our King

Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Invitation Lyrics: 1 O come before the Lord, our King, And in His presence let us sing; Let us in glad and joyful lays The Rock of our salvation praise; Before Him come with thankful song, In joyful psalms His praise prolong. 2 Almighty power the Lord maintains, Exalted over all He reigns; He holds the valleys in His hand, He makes the mighty mountains stand; To Him belong both land and sea, Creator of the world is He. 3 O come and let us worship now, Before our Maker let us bow; We are His sheep and He our God, He feeds our souls in pastures broad; He safely leads us in the way; O come and heed His voice today. 4 Take heed and harden not your heart As did your fathers, nor depart From God to follow in their ways; For with complaints instead of praise, With doubt instead of faith confessed, They put His mercy to the test. 5 Take heed that ye provoke Him not As did your fathers, who forgot, With erring heart, God's holy ways And grieved Him all their sinful days; To whom in wrath Jehovah sware, My promised rest they shall not share. Scripture: Psalm 95 Used With Tune: ST. PETERSBURG

Are You Weary, Heavy Laden?

Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 8.5.8.3 with refrain Appears in 660 hymnals Topics: Invitation to Discipleship; Invitation To Salvation First Line: Are you weary, heavy laden Lyrics: 1 Are you weary, heavy laden, are you sore distressed? "Come to me," says One, "and, coming, be at rest." 2 Has he marks to lead me to him, if he be my guide? "In his feet and hands are wound-prints, snd his side." 3 Is there diadem, as monarch, that his brow adorns? "Yea, a crown, in very surety, but of thorns." 4 If I find him, if I follow, what my portion here? "Many a sorrow, many a labor, many a tear." 5 If I still hold closely to him, what has he at last? "Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan passed." 6 If I ask him to receive me, will he say me nay? "Not till earth, and not till heaven pass away." 7 Finding, following, keeping, struggling, is he sure to bless? "Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs answer, 'Yes'." Scripture: Matthew 11:28 Used With Tune: STEPHANOS Text Sources: Based on Ancient Greek hymn

Christ is knocking at my sad heart

Author: H. R. P. Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Bible Songs Invitation Lyrics: 1 Christ is knocking at my sad heart; Shall I let him in? Patiently pleading with my sad heart; O shall I let him in? Cold and proud is my heart with sin, Dark and cheerless is all within; Christ is bidding me turn unto him; O shall I let him in? 2 Shall I send him the loving word? Shall I let him in? Meekly accepting my gracious Lord, O shall I let him in? He can infinite love impart, He can pardon this rebel heart; Shall I bid him forever depart, Or shall I let him in? 3 Yes, I'll open this proud heart's door, Yes, I'll let him in. Gladly I'll welcome him evermore; O, yes, I'll let him in. Blessed Saviour, abide with me, Cares and trials will lighter be; I am safe if I'm only with thee, O, blessed Lord, come in! Scripture: Revelation 3:20 Used With Tune: SHALL I LET HIM IN?
