A Summons to Joyful Worship

Hymnal: The Psalter #222 (1912) Topics: Gospel Invitations of ; Invitation and Divine Pleading First Line: Now to God, our Strength and Saviour Lyrics: 1 Now to God, our Strength and Saviour, Render praise and loudly sing; In our fathers' God rejoicing, All your noblest music bring. 2 Let the trumpet, far resounding, This our festal day proclaim, By our fathers' God appointed, When from bondage Israel came. 3 I, thy God, removed thy burdens, When thou calledst, set thee free, Proved thee in the thirsty desert, In the thunder answered thee. 4 O My people, hear My pleadings; O that thou wouldst hearken now; No strange worship shalt thou offer, Nor to idols shalt thou bow. 5 I am God the Lord Who saved thee, And from cruel bondage freed; Open wide thy mouth of longing; I will satisfy thy need. 6 But My people would not hearken, Yea, they would not yield to Me; So I left them in their blindness, Their own counselors to be. 7 If My people would obey me, Gladly walking in My ways, Soon would I, their foes subduing, Fill their lips with songs of praise. 8 All the haters of Jehovah Shall His clemency implore, And the days of those that love Him Shall endure for evermore. 9 Yea, with wheat the very finest I their hunger will supply, Bid the very rocks yield honey That shall fully satisfy. Scripture: Psalm 81 Languages: English Tune Title: STOCKWELL

Almost persuaded now to believe

Author: Philip Paul Bliss (1838-76) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #226 (1986) Topics: The gospel Invitation Lyrics: 1 Almost persuaded now to believe, Almost persuaded Christ to receive, Seems now some soul to say: Go, Spirit, go thy way, Some more convenient day On thee I’ll call. 2 Almost persuaded, come, come today; Almost persuaded, turn not away. Jesus invites you here, Angels are lingering near, Prayers rise from hearts so dear, O wanderer, come. 3 Almost persuaded, harvest is past; Almost persuaded, doom comes at last. Almost cannot avail, Almost is sure to fail, Sad, sad, that bitter wail, Almost-but lost. Languages: English

Just a Step to Jesus

Author: Arthur L. Tubbs Hymnal: Gems of Song #233 (1901) Topics: Invitation First Line: It is just a step to Jesus Lyrics: 1 It is just a step to Jesus; Will you take it, friend, tonight? While He waiteth to receive you, Won’t you enter into light? With a love so deep and tender, Deeper than the deepest sea, He implores you and invites you, Kindly saying, “Come to me.” 2 It is just a step to Jesus; Haste, O haste, and take it now! Breathe a pray’r, for He is list’ning, Make to Him a solemn vow; Place your hand in His confiding, Let Him lead you where He will, Thro’ the meadows green with verdure, By the waters cool and still. 3 It is just a step to Jesus; Sinner, won’t you cross the line? Won’t you let His grace, so precious, In your life forever shine? Tho’ the world has charms, alluring, They are like the fading leaf, And at last will fall and wither,— Leaving only pain and grief. 4 It is just a step to Jesus; Do not tarry, come tonight! Look to Him, and He will lead you Out of darkness into light; With a full and glad surrender Put your trust in Him, and say, “Where Thou leadest, O my Saviour, I will follow all the way.? Languages: English Tune Title: [It is just a step to Jesus]
