When God of old came down from heaven

in power and wrath he came;
before his feet the clouds were riven,
half darkness and half flame.
*2 But when he came the second time,
he came in power and love;
softer than gale at morning prime
hovered his holy Dove.
*3 The fires, that rushed on Sinai down
in sudden torrents dread,
now gently light, a glorious crown,
on every sainted head.
*4 And as on Israel’s awestruck ear
the voice exceeding loud,
the trump that angels quake to hear,
thrilled from the deep, dark cloud;
5 So, when the Spirit of our God
came down his flock to find,
a voice from heaven was heard abroad,
a rushing, mighty wind.
6 It fills the Church of God; it fills
the sinful world around:
only in stubborn hearts and wills
no place for it is found.

open our ears to hear;
let us not miss the accepted hour:
save, Lord, by love or fear. Topics: Pentecost Used With Tune: WINCHESTER OLD

Come to Jesus
Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:2 First Line: Come to Jesus, ye who wander Lyrics: 1 Come to Jesus, ye who wander
Far from hope, and peace, and rest;
Scorned, neglected, and forsaken,
Sorrowful, and sore distressed.
Come to Jesus, come to Jesus,
Ye of fear and sin oppressed.
2 Come to Jesus, y who never
Listened to his word before;
Hear his loving invitation
Sweetly sounding o'er and o'er;
Come to Jesus, come to Jesus,
And behold your sins no more.
3 Come to Jesus! He hath love you
With a deep, abounding love;
And His heart of tend’rest pity
Needs no sacrifice to move.
Come to Jesus, come to Jesus,
And his free salvation prove.
4 Come to Jesus, Canaan's country
Is the pilgrim's happy home;
Linger not in Egypt's bondage,
Sharon of the sinner's doom;
Come to Jesus, come to Jesus,
Hark! the Spirit whispers, come.
5 Come! Oh come! The Master waiteth:
Come! the longing Bride doth say:
Come! He tarries whilst we linger;
He hath borne our sins away.
Come to Jesus, come to Jesus,
Come, the Spirit cries, today. Used With Tune: [Come to Jesus, ye who wander]

God’s Time Now
Author: Joseph Cook Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:2 First Line: Choose I must, and soon must choose Lyrics: 1 Choose I must, and soon must choose
Holiness, or heaven lose;
While what heaven loves I hate,
Shut for me in heaven’s gate.
2 Endless sin means endless woe;
Into endless sin I go,
If my soul, from reason rent,
Takes from sin its final bent.
3 As the stream its channel grooves,
And within that channel moves,
So doth habit’s deepest tide
Groove its bed, and there abide.
4 Light obeyed increaseth light,
Light resisted bringeth night;
Who shall give me will to choose,
If the love of light I lose?
5 Speed, my soul; this instant yield;
Let the Light its sceptre wield;
While thy God prolongeth grace,
Hate thee toward His holy face. Used With Tune: [Choose I must, and soon must choose]

“Come, ye weary, come to Me!”
Come, and you shall find salvation!
Will you not to Jesus flee?
Refrain:
You never can tell when the Lord will call you,
You never can tell when your end will be;
Cast your poor soul in the sin-cleansing fountain,
Come and get saved, and happy be.
2 Jesus loves you; do not tarry!
Hasten to His side today,
And, by faith on Him relying,
All your guilt will wash away. [Refrain]
3 Oh, ’tis madness to reject Him;
For, when you are called to die,
You will want a loving Savior—
So in time for mercy cry. [Refrain]
4 Oh, this wonderful salvation,
Offered now so full and free,
Seek it, ere ’tis passed forever;
Reconciled to Jesus be! [Refrain] Topics: Warning Used With Tune: [Listen to the invitation:] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Never_Can_Tell); The Salvation Army, Songs and Music, 1922 (248)
