Come Unto me, Ye Weary

Author: William C. Dix Hymnal: NCH1929 #204 (1929) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: "Come unto Me, ye weary Lyrics: 1. "Come unto Me, ye weary, And I will give you rest." O blessed voice of Jesus, Which comes to hearts oppressed! It tells of benediction, Of pardon, grace, and peace, Of joy that hath no ending, Of love which cannot cease. 2. "Come unto Me, ye wand'rers, And I will give you light." O loving voice of Jesus, Which comes to cheer the night! Our hearts were filled with sadness, And we had lost our way; But He has brought us gladness, And songs at break of day. 3. "Come unto Me, ye fainting, And I will give you life." O peaceful voice of Jesus, Which comes to end our strife! The foe is stern and eager, The fight is fierce and long; But Thou hast made us mighty, And stronger than the strong. 4. "And whosoever cometh, I will not cast him out." O patient voice of Jesus, Which drives away our doubt, Which calls us--very sinners, Unworthy though we be Of love so free and boundless-- To come, dear Lord, to Thee.

Joy of the desolate, light of the straying, Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure, Here speaks the Comforter, in mercy saying, "Earth has no sorrows that heav'n cannot cure." 3. Here see the Bread of life, see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, boundless in love; Come to the feast prepared, come, ever knowing Earth has no sorrows but heav'n can remove.

Now, ye needy, come and welcome; God's free bounty glorify; True belief and true repentence, Ev'ry grace that brings you nigh. Without money, Without money, Come to Jesus Christ and buy. 3. Let not conscience make you linger, Nor of fitness fondly dream; All the fitness He requireth Is to feel your need of Him: This He gives you, This He gives you; 'Tis the Spirit's glimm'ring beam. 4. Come, ye weary, heavy-laden, Bruised and mangled by the fall; If you tarry till you're better, You will never come at all; Not the righteous, Not the righeous, --Sinners Jesus came to call.

All the world is God's own field, Fruit unto His praise to yield, Wheat and tares together sown, Unto joy or sorrow grown; First the blade, and then the ear, Then the full corn shall appear: Lord of harvest, grant that we Wholesome grain and pure may be. 3. For the Lord our God shall come, And shall take His harvest home; From His field shall in that day All offenses purge away; Give His angels charge at last In the fire the tares to cast, But the fruitful ears to store In His garner evermore. 4. Even so, Lord, quickly come To Thy final harvest-home; Gather Thou Thy people in, Free from sorrow, free from sin; There, forever purified, In Thy presence to abide: Come, with all Thine angels, come, Raise the glorious harvest-home.

For the herald's voice is crying In the desert far and near, Bidding all men to repentance, Since the kingdom now is here. O that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way! Let the valleys rise to meet Him, And the hills bow down to greet Him. 3. Make ye straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain: Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits His holy reign, For the glory of the Lord Now o'er earth is shed abroad, And all flesh shall see the token, That His Word is never broken.

Conquering now and still to conquer, Jesus, Thou Ruler of all, Thrones and their scepters all shall perish, Crowns and their splendor shall fall, Yet shall the armies Thou leadest, Faithful and true to the last, Find in Thy mansions eternal Rest, when their warfare is part.

Day of Judgment, Day of Wonders

Author: John Newton Hymnal: NCH1929 #98 (1929) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Day of judgment, day of wonders, Hark! the trumpet's awful sound, Louder than a thousand thunders, Shakes the vast creations round! How the summons Will the sinner's heart confound. 2 See the Judge our nature wearing, Clothed in majesty divine! Ye who long for His appearing Then shall say, "This God is mine!" Gracious Savior, Own me in that day for Thine! 3 At His call the dead awaken, Rise to life from earth and sea; All the pow'rs of nature, shaken By His looks, prepare to flee: Careless sinner, What will then become of thee? 4 But to those who have confessed, Loved, and served the Lord below, He will say, "Come near, ye blessed! See the kingdom I bestow! You forever Shall my love and glory know." Topics: Jesus Christ Second Coming Languages: English Tune Title: CORONAE

Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness, Leave the gloomy haunts of sadness, Come into the daylight's splendor, There will joy thy praises render Unto Him, whose grace unbounded Hath this wondrous banquet founded; High o'er all the earth He reigneth, Yet to dwell with thee He deigneth. 2. Hasten as a bride to meet Him, And with loving rev'rence greet Him, For with words of life immortal Now He knocketh at thy portal; Open wide the gates before Him, Saying, while thou dost adore Him, "Suffer, Lord, that I receive Thee, And I nevermore will leave Thee." 3. Ah! how hungers all my spirit For the love I do not merit! Oft have I, with sighs fast thronging, Tho't upon this food with longing; In the battle, well-nigh worsted, For this cup of life have thirsted, For the Friend who here invites us, And to God Himself unites us.

Delay not, delay not, why longer abuse The love and compassion of Jesus thy God? A fountain is opened, how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood? 3.
