When, marshaled on the nightly plain

Author: Henry Kirke White Appears in 485 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 When marshaled on the nightly plain, The glittering host bestud the sky, One star alone of all the train Can fix the sinner's wandering eye. 2 Once on the raging seas I rode; The storm was loud, the night was dark, The ocean yawned, and rudely blowed The wind that tossed my foundering bark. 3 Deep horror than my vitals froze; Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem; When suddenly a star arose, It was the Star of Bethlehem. 4 It was my guide, my light, my all; It bade my dark forebodings cease; And through the storm and danger's thrall It led me to the port of peace.

Behold a Stranger at the door!

Author: Joseph Grigg Appears in 636 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Warning and Invitation Lyrics: 1 Behold a Stranger at the door! He gently knocks, has knocked before, Has waited long, is waiting still; You treat no other friend so ill. 2 O, lovely attitude! he stands With melting heart and laden hands; O, matchless kindness! and he shows This matchless kindness to his foes. 3 But will he prove a friend indeed? He will, the very friend you need The Friend of sinners; yes, 'tis he, With garments dyed on Calvary. 4 Rise, touched with gratitude divine, Turn out his enemy and thine That soul-destroying monster, sin And let the heavenly Stranger in. 5 Admit him ere his anger burn; His feet, departed, ne'er return: Admit him, or the hour's at hand When at his door denied you'll stand.

Is this the kind return

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 217 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Is this the kind return, Are these the thanks we owe, Thus to abuse eternal love, Whence all our blessings flow? 2 To what a stubborn frame Has sin reduced our mind! What strange rebellious wretches we, And God as strangely kind! 3 Turn, turn us, mighty God, And mold our souls afresh; Break, sovereign grace, these hearts of stone, And give us hearts of flesh.

O Jesus! thou art standing

Author: William How Appears in 684 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Warning and Invitation Lyrics: 1 O Jesus! thou art standing Outside the fast-closed door, In lowly patience waiting To pass the threshold o'er: We bear the name of Christians, Thy name and sign we bear: O, shame, thrice shame upon us! To keep thee standing there. 2 O Jesus! thou art knocking; And lo! that hand is scarred, And thorns thy brow encircle, And tears thy face have marred: O, love that passeth knowledge, So patiently to wait! So, sin that hath no equal, So fast to bar the gate! 3 O Jesus! thou art pleading In accents meek and low, "I died for you, my children, And will ye treat me so?" O Lord, with shame and sorrow We open now the door: Dear Saviour, enter, enter, And leave us nevermore! Used With Tune: AURELIA

There is a fountain opened wide

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Appears in 2,617 hymnals Topics: Sin / Sinner Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain opened wide where life and hope begin, for Christ the Lord was crucified to cleanse us from our sin. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day, and there have I, as vile as he, washed all my sins away. 3 O Lamb of God, your precious blood shall never lose its power, till all the ransomed church of God be saved to sin no more. 4 And since, by faith, I saw the stream your flowing wounds supply, redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die. 6 When this poor, halting, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave, then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing your power to save.
