Then come, no more delaying

Author: Kate Harrington Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1274 (1886) Topics: Bible Songs Invitation First Line: They dreamed not of danger, those sinners of old Lyrics: 1 They dreamed not of danger, those sinners of old, Whom Noah was chosen to warn; By frequent transgression their hearts had grown cold; They laughed his entreaties to scorn: Yet daily he called them, "O come, sinner, come, Believe, and prepare to embark! Receive the glad message, and know there is room For all who will come to the Ark," Receive the glad message, and know there is room For all who will come to the Ark." Chorus: Then come, no more delaying, The gracious call obeying; O hear the Spirit saying, "There's room for you today." Today the word believing, Today the truth receiving, No more the Spirit grieving, enter while you may. 2 He could not arouse them; unheeding they stood, Unmoved by his warning and prayer; The prophet passed in from the oncoming flood, And left them to hopeless despair; The floodgates were opened, the deluge came on, The heavens as midnight grew dark, Too late, then they turned ev-ry foothold was gone, They perished in sight of the Ark. Too late, then they turned, ev'ry foothold was gone, They perished in sight of the Ark. [Chorus] 3 O sinners, the heralds of mercy implore, They cry like the patriarch, "Come;" The Ark of salvation is moored to your shore, O enter while yet thee is room! The storm cloud of Justice rolls dark over head, And when by its fury you're tossed, Alas, of your perishing souls 'twill be said, "They heard they refused and were lost." Alas, of your perishing souls 'twill be said, "They heard they refused and were lost!"[Chorus] 4 And now while this message "Christ's coming is near" God's servants by thousands proclaim, Say not like those sinners of old, with a sneer, "All things shall continue the same." The prophets have spoken; their words are unsealed; The judgment will shortly be o'er; The arm of God's justice will soon be revealed, And mercy invite you no more, The arm of God's justice will soon be revealed, And mercy invite you no more. [Chorus] Scripture: Matthew 24:37 Tune Title: OUT OF THE ARK

Author: Toplady Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CXV (1792) Topics: Scripture Invitations and Promises; Encouragement and invitation First Line: Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched Lyrics: 1 Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched Weak and wounded, sick and sore; Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of pity, join'd with power: He is able, He is willing. Doubt no more! 2 Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome; God's free bounty glorify: True belief, and true repentance, Every grace that brings you nigh— Without money, Come to Jesus Christ, and buy. 3 Let not conscience make you linger, Nor of fitness fondly dream; All the fitness he requireth, Is to feel your need of him: This he gives you; 'Tis the Spirit's rising beam. 4 Come, ye weary, heavy laden, Lost and ruin'd by the fall! If you tarry till you're better, You will never come at all; Not the righteous, Sinners Jesus came to call. 5 View him prostrate in the garden; On the ground your Maker lies! On the bloody tree behold him; Hear him cry, before he dies, "It is FINISHED:" Sinner, will not this suffice? 6 Lo, th' incarnate God, ascended, Pleads the merit of his blood; Venture on him, venture wholly, Let no other trust intrude; None but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good. 6 Saints and angels, join'd in concert, Sing the praises of the Lamb: While the blissful seats of Heaven, Sweetly echo with his mame; Hallelujah! Sinners, here, may sing the same. Languages: English

Author: Fawcett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CXVI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Scripture Invitations and Promises; Encouragement and invitation First Line: Sinners, the voice of God regard Lyrics: 1 Sinners, the voice of God regard; ’Tis mercy speaks to-day; He calls you by his sovereign word, From sin’s destructive way. 2 Like the rough sea, that cannot rest, You live devoid of peace; A thousand stings within your breast, Deprive your souls of ease. 3 Your way is dark, and leads to hell; Why will you persevere? Can you in frightful torments dwell, Shut up in black despair? 4 Why will you in the crooked ways Of sin and folly go? In pain you travel all your days, To reap immortal woe. 5 But he that turns to God shall live, Thro' his abounding grace; His mercy will the guilt forgive Of those that seek his face. 6 Bow to the sceptre of his word, Renouncing every sin; Submit to him your sovereign Lord, And learn his will divine. 7 His love exceeds your highest thoughts; He pardons like a God; He will forgive your numerous faults, Thro' a Redeemer's blood.

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #III.XIII (1766) Topics: Feast made and Guests invited; Invitation of the Gospel Lyrics: 1 How sweet and awful is the Place With Christ within the Doors, While everlasting Love displays The choicest of her Stores. 2 Here ev'ry Bowel of our God With soft Compassion rolls; Here Peace and Pardon bought with Blood, Is Food for dying Souls. 3 While all our Hearts, and all our Songs, Join to admire the Feast, Each of us cry, with thankful Tongues, "Lord, Why was I a Guest? 4 "Why was I made to hear thy Voice, "And enter while there's Room? "When thousands make a wretched Choice, "And rather starve than come."] 5 'Twas the same Love that spread the Feast, That sweetly forc'd us in, Else we had still refus'd to taste, And perish'd in our Sin. 6 Pity the Nations, O our God. Constrain the earth to come; Send thy victorious Word abroad, And bring the Strangers home. 7 We long to see thy Churches full, That all the chosen Race, May with one Voice, and Heart, and Soul, Sing thy redeeming Grace.
