My Savior Sinners Doth Receive

Author: Leopold F. Lehr Meter: 8.9.8.9.8.8.9.9.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Luke 15:2 Lyrics: 1 My Savior sinners doth receive Who find no rest and no salvation, To whom no man can comfort give, So great their guilt and condemnation; For whom the world is all too small, Their sins both them and God appal; With whom the Law itself hath broken, On whom its judgment hath been spoken,-- To them the Gospel hope doth give: My Savior sinners doth receive. My Savior sinners doth receive. 2 A love more deep than mother-love, With which His heart was overflowing, Drew Him on earth from heav’n above, On sinners boundless grace bestowing. He in their stead a curse became, He bore the cross with all its shame; Bro't full atonement by His suff'ring, Gave up His life for them an off'ring. This comfort doth the Gospel give: My Savior sinners doth receive. My Savior sinners doth receive. 3 His loving bosom still remains A haven for the heavy-laden; Christ frees them from their guilty stains, Their burdened hearts doth ease and gladden. He casts into th’unfathomed sea The load of their iniquity; He gives assurance by His Spirit That they are saved through His own merit. Yea, they shall live who this believe: My Savior sinners doth receive. My Savior sinners doth receive. 4 Say not: "My sins are far too great, His mercy I have scorned and slighted, Now my repentance is too late; I came not when His love invited." O trembling sinner, have no fear; In penitence to Christ draw near. Come now, tho' conscience still is chiding; Accept His mercy, e’er abiding. Come; blest are they who this believe: My Savior sinners doth receive. My Savior sinners doth receive. 5 Oh, draw us ever unto Thee, Thou friend of sinners, gracious Savior; Help us that we may fervently Desire Thy pardon, peace, and favor. When guilty conscience doth reprove, Reveal to us Thy heart of love. May we, our wretchedness beholding, See then Thy pardoning grace unfolding And say: "To God all glory be: My Savior, Christ, receiveth me. My Savior, Christ, receiveth me." Amen.

Until Ye Find

Author: Rev. E. H. Stokes, D. D. Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Luke 15 First Line: Alas! alas! a wayward sheep Refrain First Line: Go, seek until ye find Lyrics: 1 Alas! alas! a wayward sheep Had wandered from the fold, Far o’er the mountains rough and steep, Where howling tempests rolled; The Shepherd, with a burdened mind, Went forth the missing one to find, The missing one, far, far away, The missing one to find. Go, seek until ye find; Go, seek until ye find; The missing one must not be lost,— Go seek until ye find. 2 He sought with many-a footstep store, From early morn till night; Thro’ rocky wastes, where torrents roar,— App pathways but the right; Then cried, with sad and burdened mind, The missing I have failed to find, The missing one, far, far away, Alas! I’ve failed to find. Go, seek until ye find; Go, seek until ye find; The missing one must not be lost,— Go seek until ye find. 3 How long, O Lord, must I still go? How long search for the sheep? They’ve wandered far away, I know,— Discouraged, lo, I weep: How long thus go, with burdened mind? “Go,” Jesus saith, “until ye find;” The missing one must not be lost,— Go, seek until ye find! Go, seek until ye find; Go, seek until ye find; The missing one must not be lost,— Go seek until ye find. 4 I’ve sought my friends for many-a day, Have prayed for man-a year; Yet, still they wander far away, O’er mountains dark and drear; How long thus seek with burdened mind? “Seek,” Jesus saith, “until ye find;” The missing one must not be lost,— “Go, seek until ye find!” Go, seek until ye find; Go, seek until ye find; The missing one must not be lost,— Go seek until ye find. 5 Lord, at thy word I go again, Believing I shall find: I listened, and a low refrain Came to me on the wind; Led by the sadly joyful sound I rushed, and, lo, the lost was found! Joy! joy! O blessed joy divine! The lost one I have found. Joy! joy! the lost is found; Joy! joy! the lost is found; The missing one, no longer lost, The missing one is found. Used With Tune: [Alas! alas! a wayward sheep]
