Why do you wait, dear brother ?

Oh, why do you tarry so long ?

A place in His sanctified throng.

 

Why not ?—– Why not ?—–

To gain by a further delay ?

Now let the angels rejoice !

And to bring them to His fold :

For the story must be told.

 

The story musi be told, . .

The story must be told ;

That Jesus died for sinners lost,

The story must be told.

Oh, the blessed gospel story

Of His meek and lowly birth,

And the welcome of the angels

When they sang good-will to earth ; ——

Of the cross on which He suffered,

As by prophets seen of old,——

Of His death and resurrection,

Let the story now be told.

Oh, the wondrous gospel story !

And its beauties all unfold ;

And the story must be told.

To a feast prepared for all ;

Nor reject the gracious call.

Eat of Me, thou hungry soul ;

Though your sins be red as crimson,

They shall be as white as wool.”‘

The Gospel bells give warning,

As they sound from day to day,

Of the fate which doth await them

Who for ever will delay.

” Escape thou for thy life,

Tarry not in all the plain ;

Nor behind thee look — oh, never.

Lest thou be consumed in pain.”

 

4

The Gospel bells are joyful,

As they echo far and wide,

Bearing notes of perfect pardon,

Through a Saviour crucified.

” Good tidings of great joy

To all people do I bring ;

Unto you is born a Saviour,

Which is Christ the Lord ” and King.

And, when bleeding, healed thy wound

Sought thee wandering, set thee right ;

Turned thy darkness into light.

” Can a woman’s tender care

Cease towards the child she bare ?

Yes ! she may forgetful be ;

Yet will I remember thee.

Deeper than the depths beneath,

Free and faithful, strong as death.

When the work of grace is done ;

Partner of My throne shalt be ;——

Say, poor sinner, lov’st thou Me ?”

That my love is weak and faint ;

Yet, I love Thee and adore ;

Oh for grace to love Thee more.

I verily, verily say unto thee—-

” Ye must be born again ! ” . .

Ye children of men, attend to the word

So solemnly uttered by Jesus, the Lord ;

And let not this message to you be in vain :

” Ye must be born again ! ”

And sing with the ransomed the song of the blest—-

The life everlasting if ye would obtain,

” Ye must be born again ! ”

A dear one in heaven thy heart yearns to see,

At the beautiful gate may be watching for thee ;

Then list to the note of this solemn refrain.

Jesus died for sinful men ;

Though we’ve told the story often,

We must tell it o’er again.

 

Oh, glad and glorious Gospel !

With joy we now proclaim . .

A full and free salvation.

Through faith in Jesus’ name !

 

2

He has made a full atonement,

Now His saving work is done ;

He has satisfied the Father,

Who accepts us in His Son.

 

3

Still upon His hands the nail-prints,

And the scars upon His brow ;

Our Redeemer, Lord, and Saviour,

In the glory standeth now.

But remember, this same Jesus

In the clouds will come again ;

And with Him His blood-bought

people

Evermore shall live and reign.

And came His great treasures to bring.

 

Oh, wonderful gift of the Gospel,

That each in our hearts may receive !

It offers to all free salvation,

And happy are they that believe.

 

2

We never grow weary of telling

His love to the poor and oppressed;

And still He is tenderly calling,

” Come hither, ye weary, and rest ! ”

We never grow weary of telling

Of yonder bright mansions above ;

Where we shall behold our Redeemer,

And dwell in the smile of His love.

Ye souls who are athirst, forsake

Your broken cisterns first ;

Then come, partake: one draught will slake

Your soul’s consuming thirst.

Your longings Christ can fill ;

The stream is free to you and me,

And whosoever will.

 

SS & S 370  Are you coming Home, ye wanderers

Are you coming Home, ye wanderers,

Who bear the load of sin ?

Outside you’ve long been standing,

Come now, and venture in !

And dare to trust Him quite !—–

” Come unto Me ! ” saith Jesus :

Are you coming Home to-night ?

 



 

SS & S 371  Look to Jesus, weary one

Look to Jesus, weary one,

Look and live ! look and live !

Look and live !

Whosoever will may come,

Look and live !

 

SS & S 372  There is a gate that stands ajar

There is a gate that stands ajar,

And through its portals gleaming

A radiance from the cross afar,

The Saviour’s love revealing.

 

Oh, depth of mercy ! can it be

That gate was left ajar for me,

For me, . . for me ? . .

Was left ajar for me ?

 

2

That gate ajar stands free for all

Who seek through it salvation ;

The rich and poor, the great and small

Of every tribe and nation.

 

3

Press onward, then, though foes may frown,

While mercy’s gate is open ;

Accept the cross, and win the crown,

Love’s everlasting token.

 

4

Beyond the river’s brink we’ll lay

The cross that here is given,

And bear the crown of life away,

And love Him more in heaven.

 



 

SS & S 373  Back from the weary wandering

Back from the weary wandering

Into the narrow way ;

Jesus is tenderly calling,

Calling the sheep that stray.

 

Still, still Jesus is calling :

Hear, oh hear Him say :

” Weary, heavy laden,

Come, come to-day ! ”

 

2

Out of the dreary desert

Into the pastures green,

Out of the land of darkness

Into the light serene.

 

3

Why should we longer tarry,

Why should we longer roam

Far from the place of refuge,

Far from the sheltering home ?

 

4

Come, for the hours are waning ;

Come from the mountains cold ;

Come from the storm and tempest

Into the Shepherd’s fold !

 

SS & S 374  Come unto Me, ye weary

” Come unto Me, ye weary,

And I will give you rest.”

Oh, blessed voice of Jesus,

Which comes to hearts opprest !

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 wanderers,

And I will give you light.”

Oh, 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.”

Oh, cheering voice of Jesus,

Which comes to aid our strife :

The foe is stem and eager,

The fight is fierce and long,

But He has made us mighty,

And stronger than the strong.

 

4

” And whosoever cometh

I will not cast him out.”

Oh, welcome 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 !

 



 

SS & S 375  Come, weary one, and find sweet rest

Full of pity, love, and power.

Now ye needy, come and welcome;

God’s free bounty glorify :

True belief and true repentance—-

Every grace that brings you nigh—–

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—–

‘Tis the Spirit’s rising beam.

 

4

Come, ye weary, heavy-laden,

Bruised and ruined by the Fall ;

If you tarry till you’re better,

You will never come at all :

Not the righteous—-

Sinners, Jesus came to call.

 



 

SS & S 377  Step over the threshold, and wander no more

Step over the threshold, and wander no more,

Oppressed with the burden of sin ;

Step over the threshold; why stand at the door ?

Renewed by His Spirit shall be :

Step over the threshold : why stand at the door ?

Come in, there is mercy for thee.

Step over the threshold : let faith be thy guide

To Him, thy Physician so kind ;

Go wash in the fountain that flows

from His side,

And health to thy soul thou shalt find.

And quickly thy burden will fall ;

Oh, touch but His garment, and thou shalt receive

The pardon He offers to all.

Step over the threshold, and come to

Him now ;

O lost one, He tarries for thee !

 

SS & S 378  Behold Me standing at the door

Behold Me standing at the door,

And hear Me pleading evermore,

With gentle voice : Oh, heart of sin,

May I come in ? may I come in ?

 

Behold Me standing at the door,

And hear Ale pleading evermore :

Say, weary heart, oppressed with sin,

May I come in ? may I come in ?

 

2

I bore the cruel thorns for thee,

I waited long and patiently :

Say, weary heart, oppressed with sin.

May I come in ? may I come in ?

 

3

I would not plead with thee in vain ;

Remember all My grief and pain !

I died to ransom thee from sin :

May I come in ? may I come in ?

 

4

I bring thee joy from heaven above,

I bring thee pardon, peace, and love :

Say, weary heart, oppressed with sin,

May I come in ? may I come in ?

In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb ? . . .

Are your garments spotless ? Are they white as snow ?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb ?

Are you walking daily by the Saviour’s side ?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb ?

Do you rest each moment in the

Crucified ?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb ?

When the Bridegroom cometh will

your robes be white ?

Pure and white in the blood of the Lamb ?

Will your soul be ready for the

mansions bright,

And be washed in the blood of the Lamb ?

Lay aside the garments that are

stained with sin,

And be washed in the blood of the Lamb !

There’s a fountain flowing for the

soul unclean—–

Oh, be washed in the blood of the Lamb !

Jesus for your choice is waiting;

Tarry not : at once decide !

While the Spirit now is striving,

Yield, and seek the Saviour’s side.

Do not longer try to feel ;

That will give the Spirit’s seal.

Trust in Christ’s atoning blood;

Look to Jesus now in heaven,

Rest on His unchanging word.

With the word, the sword of the Spirit,

To meet the advancing foe.

And the all-prevailing name

Of Christ, the world’s Redeemer,

His Gospel to proclaim.

 



 

SS & S 383  O wandering souls, why will you roam

O wandering souls, why will you roam

Away from God, away from Home ?

The Saviour calls, oh, hear Him say—-

“ Whoever will ” may come to-day !

 

” Whoever will ! “” whoever will ! ”

” Whoever will ” may come to-day ;

” Whoever will ” may come to-day,

And drink of the water of life.

Behold His hands extended now,

The dews of night are on His brow ;

He knocks, He calls, He waiteth still :

Oh, come to Him, ” whoever will ! ”

And His abundant grace receive ;

No love like His the heart can fill ;

Oh, come to Him, ” whoever will ! ”

And find in Him sweet rest, and home ;

O weary, burdened soul ;

‘Twas there on Me thy sins were laid—-

Believe, and be made whole !

In dark temptation’s hour ;

The needful grace I’ll freely give,

To keep from Satan’s power.

Go wash, and be cleansed in its

waters so free !

 

Fly away, fly away on the wings of the

morning !

Fly away, fly away, to thy Saviour and Friend !

Fly away to thy Saviour, He waits to forgive ;

One look of His love, and thy spirit shall live :

Thy faith will secure thee His blessing divine ;

Go plead thou His merit, and peace will be thine !

Satisfied its last demand.

SS & S 391  Call them in —- the poor, the wretched

“Call them in ” —- the poor, the wretched,

Sin-stained wanderers from the fold ;

Peace and pardon freely offer ;

Can you weigh their worth with gold ?

“Call them in —–the weak, the weary,

Laden with the doom of sin ;

Bid them come and rest in Jesus ;

He is waiting—– ” Call them in.”

 

2

” Call them in ” —-the Jew, the Gentile ;

Bid the stranger to the feast ;

“Call them in ” —-the rich, the noble,

From the highest to the least :

Forth the Father runs to meet them,

He hath all their sorrows seen ;

Robe, and ring, and royal sandals,

Wait the lost ones—- ” Call them in.”

 

3

” Call them in ” —-the little children,

Tarrying far away . . . away ;

Wait —–oh, wait not for to-morrow,

Christ would have them come today.

Follow on ! the Lamb is leading !

He has conquered —–we shall win ;

Bring the halt and blind to Jesus ;

He will heal them— “Call them in.”

 

4

” Call them in “—– the broken-hearted,

Cowering ‘neath the brand of shame ;

Speak Love’s message, low and tender—–

‘Twas for sinners Jesus came :

See ! the shadows lengthen round us,

Soon the day-dawn will begin;

Can you leave them lost and lonely ?

Christ is coming—– ” Call them in.”

 

SS & S 392  Come, every soul by sin oppressed

Come, every soul by sin oppressed,

There’s mercy with the Lord ;

And He will surely give you rest

By trusting in His word.

 

Only trust Him! only trust Him

Only trust Him mow !

He will save you now I

For Jesus shed His precious blood

Rich blessings to bestow ;

Plunge now into the crimson flood

That washes white as snow.

That leads you into rest ;

Believe in Him without delay,

And you are fully blest.

And on to glory go,

To dwell in that celestial land

Where joys immortal flow.

Seeking for thee, seeking for thee ;

Lovingly, tenderly calling for thee,

Calling and seeking for thee !

Gently the Spirit is calling thee home :

Art thou in darkness ? oh, come to the light :

Jesus is waiting, He’ll save you tonight :

Wilt thou not come, O soul opprest,

To Him who offers peace and rest ?

While Jesus pleads, no longer stay;

He’s calling thee to-day.

 

He is call – – ing, gently call – – ing,

Do not turn from Him away ;

He is call – – ing, gently call – – ing,

He is calling thee to-day.

Believe His word, make Him thy choice ?

Accept His grace without delay;

He’s calling thee to-day.

Oh, hear Him say, ” Be not afraid,

On Me thy load of guilt was laid ; ”

” Come unto Me,”” I am the Way ; ”

He’s calling thee to-day.

Away from God, away from home ;

The Spirit’s voice at once obey ;

He’s calling thee to-day.

 



 

SS & S 395  Our life is like a stormy sea

Our life is like a stormy sea

Swept by the gales of sin and grief;

While on the windward and the lee

Hang heavy clouds of unbelief.

But o’er the deep a call we hear,

Like harbour bell’s inviting voice;

It tells the lost that hope is near.

And bids the trembling soul rejoice.

 

” This way, this way, O heart opprest,

So long by storm and tempest driven ;

This way, this way—- lo ! here is rest,”

Rings out the harbour bell of heaven.

 

2

Oh, let us now the call obey, [shore ;

And steer our bark for yonder

Where still that voice directs the way,

In pleading tones for evermore.

A thousand life-wrecks strew the sea ;

They’re going down at every swell :

” Come unto me ! Come unto me ! ”

Rings out th’ assuring harbour bell.

 

3

O tempted one, look up, be strong !

The promise of the Lord is sure,

That they shall sing the victor’s song,

Who faithful to the end endure.

God’s Holy Spirit comes to thee,

Of His abiding love to tell ;

To blissful port, o’er stormy sea,

Calls heaven’s inviting harbour bell.

 

4

Come, gracious Lord, and in Thy love

Conduct us o’er life’s stormy wave ;

Oh, guide us to the home above,

The blissful home beyond the grave ;

There, safe from rock, and storm, and flood,

Our song of praise shall never cease,

To Him who bought us with His blood,

And brought us to the port of peace.

 

SS & S 396  Jesus is tenderly calling thee home

Jesus is tenderly calling thee home—-

Calling to-day, calling to-day !

Why from the sunshine of love wilt thou roam,

Farther and farther away ?

 

Call – – ing to-day ! . . call – – ing to-day ! . .

Je – – – sus is call ing, is tenderly calling to-day !

 

2

Jesus is calling the weary to rest—–

Calling to-day, calling to-day !

Bring Him thy burden, and thou shalt be blest :

He will not turn thee away.

 

3

Jesus is waiting, oh, come to Him now—-

Waiting to-day, waiting to-day !

Come with thy sins, at His feet lowly bow;

Come, and no longer delay !

 

4

Jesus is pleading: oh, list to His voice—-

Hear Him to-day, hear Him today !

They who believe on His name shall rejoice ;

Quickly arise and away !

 



 

SS & S 397  Look unto Me, and be ye saved

Look unto Me, and be ye saved ! ”

Look, men of nations all ;

Look, rich and poor; look, old and

young ;

Look, sinners, great and small !

 

Look unto Him, and be ye saved I

O weary, troubled soul ;

Oh, look to Jesus while you may :

One look will make thee whole !

 

2

” Look unto Me, and be ye saved ! ”

Look now, nor dare delay ;

Look as you are —-lost, guilty, dead;

Look while ’tis called to-day.

 

3

” Look unto Me, and be ye saved ! ”

Look from your doubts and fears ;

Look from your sins of crimson dye,

Look from your prayers and tears

 

4

” Look unto Me, and be ye saved ! ”

Look to the work all done ;

Look to the pierced Son of Man ;

Look, and your sins are gone !

 

SS & S 398  NOT saved are we trying

NOT saved are we trying,

From self can come no aid;

‘Tis on the Blood relying,

Once for our ransom paid.

Tis looking unto Jesus,

The holy One and just ;

‘Tis His great work mat saves us –

It is not Try, but Trust !

 

It is not Try, but Trust !

It is not Try, but Trust !

‘Tis His great work that saves us:

It is not Try, but Trust !

 

2

‘Twas vain for Israel bitten

By serpents, on their way,

To look to their own doing,

That awful plague to stay ;

The only means for healing,

When humbled in the dust,

Was of the Lord’s revealing—-

It was not Try, but Trust !

 

3

No deeds of ours are needed

To make Christ’s merit more ;

No frames of mind, or feelings,

Can add to His great store ;

‘Tis simply to receive Him,

The holy One and just ;

‘Tis only to believe Him—-

It is not Try, but Trust !

 



 

SS & S 399  Not saved are we by trying

Not saved are we by trying,

From self can come no aid ;

‘Tis on the Blood relying,

Once for our ransom paid.

Come to the Saviour now !

He gently calleth thee ;

In true repentance bow,

Before Him bend the knee !

He waiteth to bestow

Salvation, peace, and love,

True joy on earth below,

A home in heaven above.

Come, come, come.

 

2

Come to the Saviour now !

Gaze on that cleansing tide—

Water and blood that flow

Forth from His wounded side.

Hark to the suffering One :

“‘Tis finished ! ” now He cries ;

Redemption’s work is done,

Then bows His head and dies.

Come, come, come.

 

3

Come to the Saviour now !

He suffered all for thee ;

And in His merits thou

Hast an unfailing plea :

No vain excuses frame,

For feelings do not stay ;

None who to Jesus came

Were ever sent away.

Come, come, come.

 

4

Come to the Saviour now !

Ye who have wandered far,

Renew your solemn vow,

For His by right you are.

Come, like poor wandering sheep

Returning to His fold—-

His arm will safely keep,

His love will ne’er grow cold.

Come, come, come.

 

5

Come to the Saviour, all !

Whate’er your burdens be ;

Hear now His loving call—–

” Cast all your care on Me.”

Come, and for every grief

In Jesus you will find

A sure and safe relief,

A loving Friend and kind.

Come, come, come.
