Fill every want my spirit feels, If Thou, the Son, shalt make me free, 8 I cannot rest, till in Thy blood I full redemption have : But Thou, through whom I come to God, 9 From sin, the guilt, the power, the pain, 10 I too, with Thee, shall walk in white; What is the length, and breadth, and height, 342 L.M. 6 lines, triplets. J. or C. WESLEY. 1746. PIRIT of grace! Eternal Mind! SPIT Thou on the souls of lost mankind And make them Thy eternal home. Is kindled by Thy gracious breath; And starts out of the sleep of death. 4 Convinced of sin and unbelief, 343 In Jesu's name and Jesu's blood. THE GOSPEL CALL. EXHORTING AND BESEECHING TO RETURN TO GOD. 5,5,11, or 10s & 11s. C. Wesley. 1746. The first Hymn in Mr. Wesley's celebrated Pocket Hymn Book. 1785. ALL ye that pass by, to Jesus draw nigh: Το you is it nothing that Jesus should die? Your ransom and peace, your surety He is; Come, see if there ever was sorrow like His. 2 For what you have done, His blood must atone : The Father hath punished for you His dear Son. The Lord, in the day of His anger, did lay Your sins on the Lamb; and He bore them away. 3 He answered for all; O come at His call, And low at His cross with astonishment fall! But lift up your eyes at Jesus's cries: Impassive, He suffers; immortal, He dies. 4 He dies to atone for sins not His own ; [done. Your debt He hath paid, and your work He hath Ye all may receive the peace He did leave, Who made intercession," My Father, forgive!" 5 For you and for me He prayed on the tree ; The prayer is accepted, the sinner is free. That sinner am I, who on Jesus rely, And come for the pardon God cannot deny. 6 My pardon I claim; for a sinner I am; A sinner believing in Jesus's name. He purchased the grace which now I embrace : O Father, Thou knowest He hath died in my place. 7 His death is my plea; My Advocate see, [me: And hear the blood speak that hath answered for Acquitted I was when He bled on the cross; And by losing His life He hath carried my cause. 344 (324) COM NOME, sinners, to the gospel feast ; Come, all the world; come, sinner, thou, Ye poor, and maimed, and halt, and blind, Ye all may live, for Christ hath died. 7 His love is mighty to compel ; His conquering love consent to feel; 9 This is the time; no more delay; Come in, this moment, at His call, 345 (95) 10s & 11s. C. WESLEY, 1741. ALL that pass by, to Jesus draw near; He utters a cry, ye sinners, give ear! From hell to retrieve you, He spreads out His hands; Now, now to receive you, He graciously stands. 2 If any man thirst, and happy would be, The vilest and worst may come unto Me; May drink of My Spirit, (excepted is none,) Lay claim to My merit, and take for his own. 3 Whoever receives the life-giving word, In Jesus believes, his God and his Lord; In him a pure river of life shall arise; Shall, in the believer, spring up to the skies. 4 My God and my Lord! Thy call I obey; My soul on Thy word of promise I stay: Thy kind invitation I gladly embrace, Athirst for salvation, salvation by grace. 5 O hasten the hour, send down from above The Spirit of power, of health, and of love! Of filial fear, of knowledge and grace ; Of wisdom and prayer, of joy and of praise: 6 The Spirit of Faith, of faith in Thy blood, Which saves us from wrath, and brings us to God; Removes the huge mountain of indwelling sin, And opens a fountain, that washes us clean. 346 (325) Ho O! every one that thirsts, draw nigh; Mercy and free salvation buy; Buy wine, and milk, and gospel grace. 2 Come to the Living Waters, come! Sinners, obey your Maker's call; Return, ye weary wanderers, home; And find My grace is free for ALL. 3 See from the Rock a fountain rise! For you in healing streams it rolls; TH 10s & 11s. C. WESLEY. 1741. 347 THY faithfulness, Lord, each moment we find, So true to Thy word, so loving and kind; Thy mercy so tender to all the lost race, The vilest offender may turn and find grace. 2 The mercy I feel, to others I show, I set to my seal that Jesus is true: |
