Thy Saviour bids thee live: Go to his bleeding feet, and learn How freely he'll forgive. 4 Return, O wanderer, now return, And wipe the falling tear!

Come, ye sinners, poor and needy, Weak and wounded, sick and sore

Author: Hart Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #845 (1873) Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises; The Invitation Lyrics: 1 Come, ye sinners, poor and needy, Weak and wounded, sick and sore; Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of pity, love and power: He is able, He is willing, doubt no more! 2 Ho! 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 glimmering beam. 4 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden, Lost and ruined 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 Agonizing in the garden, Lo! your Saviour prostrate lies! On the bloody tree behold him; Hear him cry, before he dies, It is finished! Sinners, will not this suffice? 6 Lo! th' incarnate God, ascending, Pleads the merit of his blood; Venture on him, venture freely, Let no other trust intrude; None but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good. 7 Saints and angels, joined in concert, Sing the praises of the Lamb, While the blissful seats of heaven Sweetly echo with his name; Hallelujah! Sinners here may do the same. Scripture: Isaiah 45:22

Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30

Almost persuaded now to believe

Author: P. P. B. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1283 (1886) Topics: Bible Songs 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 ling'ring near, Prayers rise from hearts so dear; O wand'rer come! 3 Almost persuaded; harvest is past; Almost persuaded doom comes at last!
