Jesus Sinners Doth Receive

Author: Erdmann Neumeister Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Christ Shepherd Lyrics: 1 "Jesus sinners doth receive:" word of surest consolation; word all sorrow to relieve, word of pardon, peace, salvation! Naught like this can comfort give: "Jesus sinners doth receive." 2 On God's grace we have no claim, yet to us his pledge is given; he hath sworn by his own name, open are the gates of heaven. Take to heart this word and live: "Jesus sinners doth receive." 3 When a helpless lamb doth stray, after it, the Shepherd, pressing thro' each dark and dang'rous way, brings it back, his own possessing. Jesus seeks thee, O believe: "Jesus sinners doth receive." 4 Oh, how blest it is to know: were as scarlet my transgression, it shall be as white as snow by thy blood and bitter passion; for these words I now believe: "Jesus sinners doth receive." 5 Now my conscience is at peace, from the Law I stand acquitted; Christ hath purchased my release and my every sin remitted. Naught remains my soul to grieve - "Jesus sinners doth receive." Scripture: Luke 15:2 Used With Tune: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT

Can We In Unbelievers Find

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Jesus, Our Shepherd Lyrics: 1 Can we in unbelievers find That noble readiness of mind To hear, investigate, and prove The truth of Jesus pardening love? Yes, Lord: thro' Thy preventing grace, There are who cordially embrace The joyful news of sin forgiven, With God Himself sent down from heaven, The gospel by Thy Spirit sealed, With God Himself sent down from heaven. 2 Up from the sleep of nature stirred They daily search Thy written word, Inquiring if these things be so, To Thine own oracles they go: Thine oracles the answer give, And willing multitudes believe The gospel by Thy Spirit sealed, And find Thy glorious self revealed, The gospel by Thy Spirit sealed, And find Thy glorious self revealed. 3 What then are they that dare forbid The unconvinced Thy book to read, Who take the sacred key away, Damp their desire to search and pray, Conceal Thy records from their view, "The Scriptures were not wrote for you," "Accept Your more unerring guide" "The Church, the Catholicks–the bride!" "Accept Your more unerring guide" "The Church, the Catholicks–the bride!" Used With Tune: SWENEY

There's a Voice in the wilderness

Author: James Lewis Milligan Meter: Irregular Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: God Shepherd First Line: There's a voice in the wilderness crying Lyrics: 1 There’s a voice in the wilderness crying, a call from the ways untrod: prepare in the desert a highway, a highway for our God! The valleys shall be exalted, the lofty hills brought low; make straight all the crooked places, where the God, our God, may go! 2 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up to the heights and sing! Proclaim to a desolate people the coming of their King. Like the flowers of the field they perish, like grass our works decay, the power and pomp of nations shall pass like a dream away. 3 But the word of our God endureth, the arm of the Lord is strong; God stands in the midst of nations, and soon will right the wrong. God shall feed the flock like a shepherd, the lambs so gently hold; to pastures of peace will lead them, and bring them safe to fold. 4 There’s a voice in the wilderness crying, a call from the ways untrod: prepare in the desert a highway, a highway for our God! The valleys shall be exalted, the lofty hills brought low; make straight all the crooked places, where the God, our, God may go! Used With Tune: ASCENSION (BANCROFT)
