1. HASTE, O sinner; now be wise;
Stay not for the morrow's sun;
Wisdom if you still despise,
Harder is it to be won.
2. Haste, and mercy now implore:
Stay not for the morrow's sun,
Lest thy season should be o'er,
Ere this evening's stage be run.
3. Haste, O sinner; now return;
Stay not for the morrow's sun;
Lest thy lamp should cease to burn,
Ere salvation's work is done.
4. Haste, O sinner; now be blest;
Stay not for the morrow's sun;-
Lest perdition thee arrest,
Ere the morrow is begun.
1. ROCK of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From thy side, a healing flood,
Be of sin the double cure,-
Save from wrath, and make me pure.
2. Should my tears for ever flow,
Should my zeal no languor know,-
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and thou alone;
In my hand no price I bring-—
Simply to thy cross I cling.
3 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyelids close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown,
See thee on thy judgment throne----
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee.
1. CHRIST, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true, the only light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise,
Triumph o'er the shades of night;
Day-spring from on high, be near;
Day-star, in my heart appear.
2. Dark and cheerless is the morn,
If thy light is hid from me;
Joyless is the day's return,
Till thy mercy's beams I see ;-
Till thy inward light impart
Warmth and gladness to my heart.
3. Visit, then, this soul of mine;
Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
Fill me, radiant Sun divine;
Scatter all my unbelief;
More and more thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day.
While the raging bil-lows roll, While the tem-pest still is high;
1. JESUS, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly;
While the raging billows roll,
While the tempest still is high :-
All my trust on thee is stayed,
All my help from thee I bring;
Cover my defenceless head
With the shadow of thy wing.
2. Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
Boundless love in thee I find;
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name,
I am all unrighteousness;
Vile and full of sin I am,
Thou art full of truth and grace.
3. Other refuge have I none-
Helpless hangs my soul on thee:
Leave, O leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me.
Hide me, O my Saviour! hide
Till the storm of life be past;
Safe into the haven guide;
O, receive my soul at last.
Come, thou Fount of every blessing! Tune my heart to grateful lays;
1. COME, thou Fount of every blessing!
Tune my heart to grateful lays;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
2. Teach me some melodious measure,
Sung by raptured saints above;
Fill my soul with sacred pleasure,
While I sing redeeming love.
3. Jesus sought me, when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to save my soul from danger,
Interposed his precious blood.
4. O to grace how great a debtor,
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy grace, Lord, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to thee.
