2 O lovely attitude! he stands [hands;
With melting heart and bleeding
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.

248 (ZEPHYR) L. M.

I While life prolongs its precious light, Mercy is found, and peace is given; But soon, ah, soon, approaching night

Shall blot out every hope of heaven. 2 While God invites, how blest the day! How sweet the gospel's charming 2 sound!

Come, sinners, haste, O haste away, While yet a pardoning God is found. 3 Soon, borne on time's most rapid wing,

[grave, 3 Shall death command you to the Before his bar your spirits bring,

And none be found to hear or save. 4 Now God invites; how blest the day! How sweet the gospel's charming sound!

Come, sinners, haste, O haste away,
While yet a pardoning God is found.
Timothy Dwight

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,
You'll at his door rejected stand.
Joseph Grigg

(LUTON) L. M.

1 Ho! every one that thirsts draw nigh:
'Tis God invites the fallen race:
Mercy and free salvation buy;
Buy wine, and milk, and gospel grace.

Come to the living waters, come! Sinners, obey your Maker's call; Return, ye weary wanderers, home, And find his grace is free for all.

See from the rock a fountain rise;
For you in healing streams it rolls;
Money ye need not bring, nor price,
Ye laboring, burdened, sin-sick souls.

4

Nothing ye in exchange shall give; Leave all you have and are behind Frankly the gift of God receive, Pardon and peace in Jesus find. John Wesley

2 Now, ye needy, come and welcome, 4 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden,

God's free bounty glorify:

True belief and true repentance,

Every grace that brings you nigh,

Without money,

If

Bruised and mangled by the fall;

you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all:

Not the righteous,

Sinners, Jesus came to call.

3 Let not conscience make you linger, 5 Agonizing in the garden,

Come to Jesus Christ and buy.

[blocks in formation]

Lo! your
Maker prostrate lies!
On the bloody tree behold him!
Hear him cry before he dies,

"It is finished!"

Sinners, will not this suffice?
Joseph Hart

3 Hasten, sinner, to return;

Stay not for the morrow's sun;
Lest thy lamp should cease to burn
Ere salvation's work is done.

4 Hasten, sinner, to be blest;
Stay not for the morrow's sun;
Lest perdition thee arrest
Ere the morrow is begun.
Thomas Scott
