God Calling Yet

Author: Gerhard Tersteegen; Sarah B. Findlater Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 430 hymnals First Line: God calling yet; shall I not hear? Lyrics: 1. God calling yet; shall I not hear? Earth’s pleasures shall I still hold dear? Shall life’s swift passing years all fly, And still my soul in slumber lie? 2. God calling yet; shall I not rise? Can I His loving voice despise, And basely His kind care repay? He calls me still—can I delay? 3. God calling yet, and shall He knock, And I my heart the closer lock? He still is waiting to receive, And shall I dare His Spirit grieve? 4. Ah, yield Him all; in Him confide; Where but with Him doth peace abide? Break loose, let earthly bonds be riven, And let the spirit rise to heaven. 5. God calling yet; and shall I give No heed, but still in bondage live? I wait, but He does not forsake; He calls me still—my heart, awake! 6. God calling yet; I cannot stay; My heart I yield without delay; Vain world, farewell! from thee I part; The voice of God hath reached my heart.

Whate'er I do, where'er I be, Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me. 2 Sometimes 'mid scenes of deepest gloom, Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom, By waters calm, o'er troubled sea, Still 'tis His hand that leadeth me. 3 Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine, Nor ever murmur nor repine; Content, whatever lot I see, Since 'tis my God that leadeth me. 4 And when my task on earth is done, When, by Thy grace, the vict'ry's won, E'en death's cold wave I will not flee, Since God through Jordan leadeth me. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Used With Tune: WARD

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 174 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the sinner’s Friend, to Thee, Lost and undone, for aid I flee, Weary of earth, myself, and sin; Open Thine arms, and take me in. 2 Pity and heal my sin-sick soul; ’Tis Thou alone canst make me whole; Dark, till in me Thine image shine, And lost, I am, till Thou art mine. 3 At last I own it cannot be That I should fit myself for Thee: Here, then, to Thee I all resign; Thine is the work, and only Thine. 4 What shall I say Thy grace to move? Lord, I am sin, but Thou art love: I give up every plea beside- Lord, I am lost, but Thou hast died. AMEN. Topics: The Call to Salvation Used With Tune: FEDERAL STREET

While Ye Waste on Trifling Cares

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 203 hymnals First Line: Why will ye waste on trifling cares Lyrics: 1. Why will ye waste on trifling cares That life which God’s compassion spares; While, in the various range of thought The one thing needful is forgot? 2. Why will ye chase the fleeting wind, And famish your immortal mind, While angels with regret look down To see you spurn a heavenly crown? 3. Shall God invite you from above? Shall Jesus urge His dying love? Shall troubled conscience give you pain? And all these pleas be urged in vain? 4. Not so your eyes will always view Those objects which you now pursue; Not so will Heaven and hell appear, When death’s decisive hour is near. 5. Almighty God, Thy grace impart; Fix deep conviction on each heart, Nor let us waste, on trifling cares, That life which Thy compassion spares.
