For you he is calling, for you he is calling

Author: R. R. Couch Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #273 (1986) Topics: The gospel Invitation First Line: We have a message, a message from Jesus Lyrics: 1 We have a message, a message from Jesus, And time is now speeding, the moments are few; The Master is come, O make haste to receive him, For sinners he waits; he is calling for you! Refrain: For you he is calling, for you he is calling, Yes, Jesus is calling, is calling for you. 2 We have a message, a message from Jesus, A message of hope to the weary of heart; The love of my Saviour, there’s nothing so precious, The friendship of Jesus will never depart. 3 We have a message, a message from Jesus, A message of love to the poor sinbound soul; The love of my Jesus will snap every fetter, The blood of my Saviour makes perfectly whole. 4 We have a message, a message from Jesus: O do not reject him and forfeit your soul! The Saviour invites you just now to receive him, And in his great love to be made fully whole. Languages: English

Leftover People in Leftover Places

Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #275 (2013) Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Topics: Invitation Lyrics: 1 Leftover people in leftover places, troubled, disabled, the needy and sad, scavenging crumbs from society's plenty, sick to the soul when their life has gone bad; these are the ones in God's upside-down kingdom deemed to be worthy and called to the feast, soup-kitchen people invited to banquet, valued as greatly as royal and priest. 2 Leftover people, disposable people, locked into prisons of drugs and despair, poverty's children in poverty's spiral, locked out of learning and earning their share; these are the ones in God's upside-down kingdom, these are the Christ in their shabby disguise, these are the least and the highly unlikely, given a hope and new light in their eyes. 3 Here is God's testing of true Easter people, spirited people with service to give, taking to heart the compassion of Jesus, feeling how others must struggle to live; we are a part of God's upside-down kingdom, we know the heart if the gospel's demand, taking our part with the leftover people, widening the space of the lines in the sand.

Almost Persuaded

Author: Philip P. Bliss, 1838-1876 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #275 (2011) Meter: Irregular Topics: Invitation First Line: "Almost persuaded" now to believe 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 but to fail! Sad, sad, that bitter wail, “Almost,” but lost! Scripture: Acts 26:29 Languages: English Tune Title: ALMOST PERSUADED

Come unto Me, Ye Weary

Author: William C. Dix Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #276 (1941) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Invitation Lyrics: 1 "Come unto Me, ye weary, And I will give you rest." O blessed voice of Jesus, Which comes to hearts opprest! It tells of benediction, Of pardon, grace, and peace, Of joy that hath no ending, Of love which cannot cease. 2 "Come unto Me, ye wand'rers, And I will give you light." O loving voice of Jesus, Which comes to cheer the night! Our hearts were filled with sadness, And we had lost our way; But Thou hast bro't us gladness And songs at break of day. 3 "Come unto Me, ye fainting, And I will give you life." O cheering voice of Jesus, Which comes to aid our strife! The Foe is stern and eager, The fight is fierce and long; But Thou hast made us mighty And stronger than the strong. 4 "And whosoever cometh, I will not cast him out." O patient love of Jesus, Which drives away our doubt, Which, tho' we be unworthy Of love so great and free, Invites us very sinners To come, dear Lord, to Thee! Amen. Scripture: John 6:27 Languages: Latin Tune Title: ANTHES

Return, O Wanderer, Return

Author: William B. Collyer Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #280 (1941) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Invitation First Line: Return, O wanderer, return Lyrics: 1 Return, O wanderer, return, And seek an injured Father's face; Those warm desires that in thee burn Were kindled by reclaiming grace. 2 Return, O wanderer, return And seek a Father's melting heart; His pitying eyes thy grief discern, His hand can heal thy inward smart. 3 Return, O 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. Amen. Scripture: Luke 15:18 Languages: English Tune Title: ABENDS
