2 Joy of the comfortless, light of the straying,
Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure;
Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying-
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure.

3 Here see the Bread of Life; see waters flowing
Forth from the throne of God, pure from above;
Come to the feast of love-come, ever knowing
Earth has no sorrow but heaven can remove.

Heb. 3:15.

NO-DAY the Saviour calls!

TO-DAY

Ye wanderers, come;

Oh, ye benighted souls,

Why longer roam?

2 To-day the Saviour calls;
Oh, hear him now;

Within these sacred walls
To Jesus bow.

3 To-day the Saviour calls;
For refuge fly;

The storm of justice falls,
And death is nigh.

4 The Spirit calls to-day:
Yield to his power;
Oh, grieve him not away:
'Tis mercy's hour.

WE'R

8s & 38.

E'RE traveling home to heaven above,

Will you go?

To sing the Saviour's dying love,

Will you go?

Millions have reached that blest abode,
Anointed kings and priests to God,
And millions more are on the road,
Will you go?

508

509

2 We're going to see the bleeding Lamb,
Will you go?

In rapturous strains to praise his name,
Will you go?

The crown of life we there shall wear,
The conqueror's palms our hands shall bear,
And all the joys of heaven we'll share,
Will you go?

3 We're going to join the heavenly choir,
Will you go?

To raise our voice and tune the lyre,
Will you go?

There saints and angels gladly sing
Hosanna to their God and King,
And make the heavenly arches ring,
Will you go?

INNER! come, 'mid thy gloom,
All thy guilt confessing;

Trembling now, contrite bow,
Take the offered blessing.

2 Sinner! come, while there's room-
While the feast is waiting;
While the Lord, by his word,
Kindly is inviting.

3 Sinner! come, ere thy doom
Shall be sealed forever;

Now return, grieve and mourn,
Flee to Christ, the Saviour.

COME

YOME to Calvary's holy mountain,
Sinners, ruined by the fall!

Here a pure and healing fountain
Flows to you, to me, to all,-
In a full, perpetual tide,
Opened when our Saviour died.

2 Come, in sorrow and contrition,
Wounded, impotent, and blind!
Here the guilty, free remission,
Here the troubled, peace may find;
Health this fountain will restore,
He that drinks shall thirst no more--
3 He that drinks shall live forever;
'Tis a soul-renewing flood:
God is faithful; God will never
Break his covenant in blood,
Signed when our Redeemer died,
Sealed when he was glorified.

OOK to Jesus! till, reviving,

88,78 & 78.

Faith and love thy life-springs swell,

Strength for all good things deriving ;

Jesus hath done all things well.
Work, while it is called to-day,
Works which shall not fade away.
2 Look to Jesus, prayerful waking
Where thy feet on roses tread;
Follow, worldly pomp forsaking,
With thy cross, where he hath led.
Baffled shall the tempter flee,
And God's angels come to thee.

3 Look to Jesus, when, dark lowering,
Perils thy horizon dim;

Once from him a band fell cowering;
Calm in tempests, look on him;
Wind and billow, fire and flood,-
Forward! brave by trusting God.
4 Look to Jesus still to shield thee,

When no longer thou may'st live;
In that last need, he will yield thee
Peace the world can never give;
He who finished all for thee
Takes thee, then, with him to be.

511

YOME, ye souls by sin afflicted,

88, 78 & 48.

Bowed with fruitless sorrow down,

By the perfect law convicted,

Through the cross behold the crown;
Look to Jesus;

Mercy flows through him alone.

2 Take his easy yoke, and wear it;
Love will make obedience sweet;

Christ will give you strength to bear it,
While his wisdom guides your feet
Safe to glory,

Where his ransomed captives meet.

3 Sweet as home to pilgrims weary,
Light to newly opened eyes;
Or full springs in deserts dreary,
Is the rest the cross supplies;
All who taste it

Shall to rest immortal rise.

512

Isaiah 55: 1.

88, 7s & 48.

OME, ye sinners, poor and wretched,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore,

Jesus ready stands to save you,

Full of pity, love and power.

He is able,

He is willing, doubt no more.

2 Ho, ye needy; come, and welcome;
God's free bounty glorify!

True belief and true repentance,
Every grace that brings us nigh,

Without money,

Come to Jesus Christ, and buy.

513

514

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;

'Tis the Spirit's rising beam.

HE

88, 78 & 48.

EAR, O sinner! mercy hails you,
Now with sweetest voice she calls;
Bids you haste to seek the Saviour,
Ere the hand of justice falls;
Hear, O sinner!

'Tis the voice of mercy calls.

2 Haste, O sinner, to the Saviour!
Seek his mercy while you may;
Soon the day of grace is over;
Soon your life will pass away:
Haste, O sinner!

You must perish if you stay.

SINN

88, 78 & 48.

INNERS, will you scorn the message,
Coming from the courts above?

Mercy beams in every passage;

Every line is full of love;

Oh! believe it,

Every line is full of love.

2 Now the heralds of salvation

Joyful news from heaven proclaim:
Sinners freed from condemnation,
Through the all-atoning Lamb!

Life receiving

Through the all-atoning Lamb
