God calling yet; shall I not hear?

Author: Sarah Borthwick Findlater, 1823 - 1907; Gerhard Tersteegen, 1697 - 1769 Appears in 434 hymnals 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; I cannot stay; My heart I yield without delay; Vain world, farewell! from thee I part; The voice of God hath reached my heart.

Before the throne of God above

Author: Charitie L. de Chenez (1841-1923) Appears in 61 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Before the throne of God above I have a strong, a perfect plea; a great high priest, whose name is Love, who ever lives and pleads for me. 2 My name is written on his hands, my name is hidden in his heart; I know that while in heaven he stands no tongue can force me to depart. 3 When Satan tempts me to despair and tells me of the guilt within, upward I look, and see him there who made an end of all my sin. 4 Because the sinless Saviour died, my sinful soul is counted free; for God the just is satisfied to look on him and pardon me. 5 Behold him there! the risen Lamb, my perfect, spotless Righteousness, the great unchangeable I AM, the King of glory and of grace! 6 One with my Lord, I cannot die: my soul is purchased by his blood, my life is safe with Christ on high, with Christ my saviour and my God.
