Come, my soul, Thy suit prepare

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #303 (1867) Topics: Man a Sinner Penitent Lyrics: 1 Come, my soul, Thy suit prepare, Jesus loves to answer prayer; He himself has bid thee pray, Rise and ask without delay. 2 With my burden I begin; Lord! remove this load of sin! Let Thy blood, for sinners spilt, Set my conscience free from guilt. 3 Lord! I come to Thee for rest; Take possession of my breast; There Thy sovereign right maintain, And without a rival reign. 4 Show me what I have to do, Every hour my strength renew; Let me live a life of faith, Let me die thy people's death.

Penitence

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #304 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Man a Sinner Penitent First Line: Show pity, Lord! O Lord, forgive! Lyrics: 1 Show pity, Lord! O Lord, forgive! Let a repenting sinner live, Are not Thy mercies large and free? May not the contrite trust in Thee? 2 With shame my numerous sins I trace Against Thy law, against Thy grace; And, though my prayer Thou shouldst not hear My doom is just, and Thou art clear. 3 Yet save a penitent, O Lord! Whose hope, still hovering round Thy word, Seeks for some precious promise there, Some sure support against despair. 4 My sins are great, but don't surpass The riches of eternal grace. Great God! Thy nature hath no bound: So let Thy pardoning love be found. 5 Oh wash my soul from every stain, Nor let the guilt I mourn remain. Give me to hear Thy pardoning voice, And bid my bleeding heart rejoice. 6 Then shall Thy love inspire my tongue, Salvation shall be all my song; And every power shall join to bless The Lord, my strength and righteousness.

Sin has a thousand treacherous arts

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #256 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Man a Sinner Depraved Lyrics: 1 Sin has a thousand treacherous arts To practice on the mind; With flattering looks she tempts our hearts, But leaves a sting behind. 2 With names of virtue she deceives The agèd and the young; And while the heedless wretch believes, She makes his fetters strong. 3 She pleads for all the joys she brings, And gives a fair pretence; But cheats the soul of heavenly things, And chains it down to sense. 4 So on a tree divinely fair Grew the forbidden food; Our mother took the poison there, And tainted all her blood.

Sin, like a venmous disease

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #257 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Man a Sinner Depraved Lyrics: 1 Sin, like a venomous disease, Infects our vital blood; The only balm is sovereign grace, And the physician, God. 2 Our beauty and our strength are fled, And we draw near to death; But Christ, the Lord, recalls the dead, With His almighty breath. 3 Madness by nature reigns within, The passions burn and rage, Till God's own Son, with skill divine, The inward fire assuage. 4 We lick the dust, we grasp the wind, And solid good despise; Such is the folly of the mind, Till Jesus makes us wise. 5 We give our souls the wounds they feel, We drink the poisonous gall, And rush with fury down to hell; But heaven prevents the fall.

The Lord looked down from heaven's high tower

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #258 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Man a Sinner Depraved Lyrics: 1 the Lord looked down from heaven's high tower, And all the sons of men did view, To see if any owned His power, If any truth or justice knew; 2 But all, He saw, were gone aside, All were degenerate grown, and base; None took religion for their guide, Not one of all the sinful race. 3 How will they tremble, then, for fear, When His just wrath shall them o'ertake: For to the righteous God is near, And never will their cause forsake. 4 Oh that from Sion he'd employ His might, and burst th' oppressive band! Then shouts of universal joy Should loudly echo through the land. Scripture: Psalm 14 Languages: English

Peace, troubled soul, whose plaintive moan

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #259 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Man a Sinner Invited Lyrics: 1 Peace, troubled soul, whose plaintive moan Hath taught each scene the note of woe; Cease thy complaint, suppress thy groan, And let thy tears forget to flow; Behold, the precious balm is found, To lull thy pain, and heal thy wound. 2 Come, freely come, by sin oppressed; On Jesus cast thy weighty load; In Him thy refuge find, thy rest; Trust in the mercy of thy God: Thy God's thy Saviour--glorious word! For ever love and praise the Lord. 3 As spring the winter--day, the night, So peace thy gloom wall chase away, And smiling joy, a seraph bright, Shall tend thy steps and near thee stay; While glory weaves the immortal crown, And waits to claim thee for her own.

Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #260 (1867) Topics: Man a Sinner Invited 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 sorrows that heaven cannot heal. 2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying, Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure, Here speaks the Comforter, in mercy saying, "Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot cure." 3 Here see the bread of life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, boundless in love; Come to the feast prepared; come, ever knowing Earth has its sorrows, but heaven can remove.

Return, oh wanderer, return

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #263 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Man a Sinner Invited Lyrics: 1 Return, oh wanderer, return, And seek an injured Father's face; Those warm desires that in Thee burn Were kindled by reclaiming grace. 2 Return, oh wanderer, return, And seek a Father's melting heart; His pitying eyes thy grief discern, His hand shall heal thy inward smart. 3 Return, oh wanderer, return; Thy Savior bids thy spirit live; Go to His bleeding feet, and learn How freely Jesus can forgive. 4 Return, O wanderer, return, And wipe away the falling tear: 'Tis God who says, "No longer mourn," 'Tis mercy's voice invites thee near.

Who shall against the Lord prevail?

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #266 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Man a Sinner Invited Lyrics: 1 Who shall against the Lord prevail? Or who presume to say, "That righteous law, which God proclaims, I dare to disobey?" 2 Ten thousand actions everywhere Th' impious language speak: Yet power omnipotent stands by, Nor do its thunders break. 3 But oh, the dreadful day draws near, When God's avenging hand Shall show, if feeble mortals' breath, Or God's own word, shall stand. 4 My soul, with rev'rence prostrate fall, Before the Voice divine; And all thine interest and thy powers To His command resign. 5 Let the vain of sons of Belial boast, Their tongues and thoughts are free; My noblest liberty I own, When subject most to Thee.

The Voice of Free Grace

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #269 (1867) Topics: Man a Sinner Invited First Line: The voice of free grace cries - "Escape to the mountain!" Refrain First Line: Hallelujah to the Lamb! He hat purchased our pardon Lyrics: 1 The voice of free grace cries-- "Escape to the mountain!" For Adam’s lost race Christ hath opened a fountain; For sin and uncleanness, and every transgression, His blood flows most freely in streams of salvation. Chorus: Hallelujah to the Lamb! He hath purchased our pardon, We'll praise Him again when we pass over Jordan. 2 Ye souls that are wounded! oh flee to the Saviour! He calls you in mercy--'tis infinite favor; Your sins are increasing--escape to the mountain,-- His blood can remove them, it flows from the fountain. 3 O Jesus! ride onward, triumphantly glorious, O’er sin, death, and hell, Thou art more than victorious: Thy name is the theme of the great congregation, While angels and saints raise the shout of salvation. 4 With joy shall we stand, when escaped to the shore; With harps in our hands, we'll praise Him the more; We’ll range the sweet plains on the bank of the river, And sing of redemption for ever and ever!
