Do It Now

Author: M. M. Lightcap Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: There is work for one and all Lyrics: 1 There is work for one and all, Do it now, do it now. Hear the Master to thee call, Do it now, do it now. Lead the young, the weak, the old; Woo the strong, the brave, the bold, To the tender Shepherd’s fold— Do it now, do it now. 2 Can you help an erring one? Do it now, do it now. Stay not for "tomorrow’s sun," Do it now, do it now. Bid them leave the paths of sin, And a better life begin. If some wanderer you can win— Do it now, do it now. 3 If for Jesus you can speak, Do it now, do it now. Though your tones are low and weak, Do it now, do it now. Take the tempted by the hand, Point them to a better land That awaits "beyond the strand"— Do it now, do it now. 4 Bid them trust in Jesus’ power; Do it now, do it now. Flee to Him this very hour, Do it now, do it now. Tell them that His life He gave, Us from endless wrath to save, Gained the victory o’er the grave, Do it now, do it now.

Let The World Lament Their Dead

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let the world lament their dead, As sorrowing without hope; When a friend of ours is freed, We cheerfully look up, Cannot murmur or complain, For our dead we cannot grieve, Death to them, to us, is gain; In Jesus we believe. 2 We believe that Christ our head For us resigned His breath, He was numbered with the dead, And dying conquered death; Burst the barriers of the tomb: Death could Him no longer keep, He is the first-fruits become Of those in Him that sleep. 3 God, who Him to life restored, Shall all His members raise, Bring them quickened with their Lord, The children of His grace. We who then on earth remain, Shall not sooner be brought home; All the dead shall rise again To meet the general doom. 4 Jesus, faithful to His word, Shall with a shout descend; All Heaven’s host their glorious Lord Shall pompously attend; Christ shall come with dreadful noise, Lightnings swift, and thunders loud, With the great archangel’s voice, And with the trump of God. 5 First the dead in Christ shall rise; Then we who yet remain Shall be caught up to the skies, And see our Lord again; We shall meet Him in the air, All rapt up to Heaven shall be, See, and love, and praise Him there To all eternity. 6 Who can tell the happiness This glorious hope affords! Joy unuttered we possess In these reviving words: Happy while on earth we breathe, Mightier bliss ordained to know, Trampling upon sin and death, To the third Heaven we go.

Father, God, we glorify Thy love to Adam’s seed; Love that gave Thy Son to die, And raised Him from the dead: Him, for our offenses slain, That we all might pardon find, Thou hast brought to life again, The Savior of mankind. 2. By Thy own right hand of power Thou hast exalted Him, Sent the mighty Conqueror Thy people to redeem: King of saints, and Prince of Peace, Him Thou hast for sinners giv’n, Sinners from their sins to bless, And lift them up to Heav’n. 3. Father, God, to us impart The gift unspeakable; Now in every waiting heart Thy glorious Son reveal: Quickened with our living Lord, Let us in Thy Spirit rise, Rise to all Thy life restored, And bless Thee in the skies.

Count! her every precious shrine; Tell, to after ages tell, Fortified by power divine, The church can never fail. 4 Zion’s God is all our own, Who on His love rely; We His pardoning love have known, And live to Christ and die: To the new Jerusalem He our faithful guide shall be; Him we claim, and rest in Him, Through all eternity.

Jesu, Great Redeemer, Hear

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Jesus, great Redeemer, hear Lyrics: 1 Jesus, great Redeemer, hear A feeble sinner’s cry; Thou in my behalf appear, And bring salvation nigh: To my Lord what shall I say? Savior, I of Thee have need; Take, O take my sins away, And make me free indeed. 2 Thee all-lovely as Thou art, Should I profess to love, Surely my rebellious heart The falsehood would disprove: Thee my heart cannot obey Till from every evil freed: Take, O take my sins away, And make me free indeed. 3 Should I say, that aught in me Of God doth now abide, Self condemned I now should be; My all is self and pride. Guilty, guilty must I say, Nothing, Lord, have I to plead: Take, O take my sins away, And make me free indeed. 4 No desire, or will have I Thy mercy to embrace; From Thy arms of love I fly, And slight Thy proffered grace: But Thou didst my ransom pay, But Thy blood for me was shed: Take, O take my sins away, And make me free indeed. 5 Thy salvation to obtain, Out of myself I go, Freely Thou must heal my pain, Thy unbought mercy show: For myself I cannot pray; Let Thy Spirit intercede: Take, O take my sins away, And make me free indeed. 6 Not because I willing am, On me this grace be showed; But Thou art th’atoning Lamb, Therefore apply Thy blood; Therefore, Lord, no more delay, Therefore heal my soul, and lead; Take, O take my sins away, And make me free indeed.
