Come hither, all ye weary souls
Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #847 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Come hither, all ye weary souls,
Ye heavy-laden sinners, come;
I'll give you rest from all your toils,
And raise you to my heavenly home.
2 They shall find rest, who learn of me:
I'm of a meek and lowly mind;
But passion rages like the sea,
And pride is restless as the wind.
3 Blessed is the man whose shoulders take
My yoke, and bear it with delight;
My yoke is easy to the neck,
My grace shall make the burden light.
4 Jesus, we come at thy command;
With faith, and hope, and humble zeal,
Resign our spirits to thy hand,
To mould and guide us at thy will. Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30
Come hither, all ye weary souls
Behold! a Stranger's at the door!
Author: Grigg Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #848 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Behold! a Stranger's at the door!
He gently knocks, has knocked before;
Has waited long, is waiting still;
You treat no other friend so ill.
2 Oh, lovely attitude! he stands
With melting heart and laden hands;
Oh, matchless kindness! and he shows
This matchless kindness to his foes.
3 Admit him; for the human breast
Ne'er entertained so kind a guest;
Admit him; or the hour's at hand
When at his door denied you'll stand.
4 Art thou a weeper? grief shall fly;
For who can weep with Jesus by?
No terror shall thy hopes annoy;
No tear, except the tear of joy.
5 Sovereign of souls! thou Prince of peace!
Oh, may thy gentle reign increase;
Throw wide the door, each willing mind!
And be his empire all mankind!
Scripture: Ephesians 4:30
Behold! a Stranger's at the door!
Come, ye disconsolate! where'er ye languish
Author: Moore Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #850 (1873) Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Come, ye disconsolate! where'er ye languish,
Come to the mercy-seat, fervently kneel;
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish;
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal.
2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,
Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure!
Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying,
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not cure.
3 Here see the bread of life: see waters flowing
Forth from the throne of God, pure from above:
Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing,
Earth has no sorrow, but heaven can remove. Scripture: Psalm 50:15
Come, ye disconsolate! where'er ye languish
Retire, vain world, awhile retire
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #851 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Retire, vain world, awhile retire,
And leave us with the Lord:
Thy gifts ne'er fill one just desire,
Nor lasting bliss afford.
2 Behold and pity from above
Our cold and languid frame;
Oh! shed abroad thy quick'ning love,
And we'll adore thy name.
3 Make known thy power, victorious King,
Subdue each stubborn will;
Then sovereign grace we'll join to sing
On Zion's sacred hill.
Retire, vain world, awhile retire
