'tis a charming sound, harmonious to my ear; heav'n with the echo shall resound, and all the earth shall hear. 2 Grace first contrived a way to save rebellious man, and all the steps that grace display which drew the wondrous plan. 3 Grace taught my wand'ring feet to tread the heav'nly road and new supplies each hour I meet while pressing on to God. 4 Grace all the work shall crown through everlasting days; it lays in heav'n the topmost stone, and well deserves the praise.

Come unto Me, Ye Weary

Author: William C. Dix Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 261 hymnals Topics: The Way of Salvation Calling Lyrics: 1 "Come unto me, ye weary, and I will give you rest." O blessed voice of Jesus which comes to hearts oppressed! It tells of benediction, of pardon, grace, and peace, of joy that hath no ending, of love which cannot cease. 2 "Come unto me, dear children, 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 morning brings us gladness, and songs the break of day. 3 "Come unto me, ye fainting, and I will give you life." O peaceful voice of Jesus which comes to end 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 calls us, very sinners, unworthy though we be of love so free and boundless, to come, dear Lord, to thee! Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 Used With Tune: LLANGLOFFAN

O Thou That Hear'st When Sinners Cry

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 347 hymnals Topics: The Way of Salvation Repentance Lyrics: 1 O thou that hear'st when sinners cry, though all my crimes before thee lie, behold them not with angry look, but blot their mem'ry from thy book. 2 Create my nature pure within, and form my soul averse to sin; let thy good Spirit ne'er depart, not hide thy presence from my heart. 3 I cannot live without thy light, cast out and banished from thy sight; thy holy joys, my God, restore, and guard me, that I fall no more. 4 A broken heart, my God, my King, is all the sacrifice I bring; the God of grace will ne'er despise a broken heart for sacrifice. 5 My soul lies humbled in the dust, and owns thy dreadful sentence just: look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, and save the soul condemned to die. 6 Then will I teach the world thy ways; sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace; I'll lead them to my Savior's blood, and they shall praise a pard'ning God. Scripture: Psalm 51 Used With Tune: HAMBURG

Take Me, O My Father, Take Me

Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 146 hymnals Topics: The Way of Salvation Repentance Lyrics: 1 Take me, O my Father, take me; take me, save me, through thy Son; that which thou wouldst have me, make me, let thy will in me be done. Long from thee my footsteps straying, thorny proved the way I trod; weary come I now, and praying, take me to thy love, my God. 2 Fruitless years with grief recalling, humbly I confess my sin; at thy feet, O Father, falling, to thy household take me in. Freely now to thee I proffer this relenting heart of mine; freely life and soul I offer, gift unworthy love like thine. 3 Once the world's Redeemer, dying, bore our sins upon the tree; on that sacrifice relying, now I look in hope to thee: Father, take me; all forgiving, fold me to thy loving breast; in thy love for ever living I must be forever blest. Scripture: Psalm 119:176 Used With Tune: VESPER HYMN

Ah, how shall fallen man

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 157 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Ah, how shall fallen man Be just before his God? If he contend in righteousness, We sink beneath his rod. 2 If he our ways should mark With strict inquiring eyes, Could we for one of thousand faults A just excuse devise? 3 All-seeing, powerful God! Who can with thee contend? Or who, that tries the unequal strife, Shall prosper in the end? 4 The mountains, in thy wrath, Their ancient seats forsake; The trembling earth deserts her place, Her rooted pillars shake. 5 Ah! how shall guilty man Contend with such a God? None, none, can meet him and escape, But through the Saviour's blood. Used With Tune: OLMUTZ

Can sinners hope for heaven

Author: Anon. Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Can sinners hope for heaven, Who love this world so well? Or dream of future happiness, While on the road to hell? 2 Shall they hosannas sing, With an unhallowed tongue? Shall palms adorn the guilty hand Which does its neighbor wrong? 3 Can sin's deceitful way Conduct to Zion's hill? Or those expect with God to reign Who disregard his will? 4 Thy grace, O God, alone, Good hopes can e'er afford: The pardoned and the pure shall see The glory of the Lord. Used With Tune: OLMUTZ

My former hopes are fled

Author: William Cowper Appears in 130 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 My former hopes are fled, My terror now begins; I feel, alas! that I am dead In trespasses and sins. 2 Ah! whither shall I fly?

O Light, whose beams illumine all

Author: Rev. Edward H. Plumptre Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Christ Way, The Lyrics: 1 O Light, whose beams illumine all From twilight dawn to perfect day, Shine Thou before the shadows fall That lead our wandering feet astray; At morn and eve Thy radiance pour, That youth may love, and age adore. 2 O Way, through whom our souls draw near To yon eternal home of peace, Where perfect love shall cast out fear, And earth's vain toil and wandering cease: In strength or weakness may we see Our heavenward path, O Lord, through Thee. 3 O Truth, before whose shrine we bow, Thou priceless Pearl for all who seek, To Thee our earliest strength we vow, Thy love will bless the pure and meek; When dreams or mists beguile our sight, Turn Thou our darkness into light. 4 O Life, the Well that ever flows To slake the thirst of those that faint, Thy power to bless what seraph knows? Thy joy supreme what words can paint? In earth's last hour of fleeting breath Be Thou our Conqueror over death. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. PETERSBURG
