"It is finished :"

Sinners, will not this suffice?

4 Lo! the incarnate God ascended,

Pleads the merit of his blood; Venture on him, venture wholly, Let no other trust intrude: None but Jesus

Can do helpless sinners good.

118. The Saviour calls. C. M.

Hart.

1 The Saviour calls-let every ear
Attend the heavenly sound;
Ye doubting souls, dismiss your fear,
Hope smiles, reviving, round.

2 For every thirsty, longing heart,
Here streams of bounty flow,

And life, and health, and bliss impart,
To banish mortal wo.

3 Ye sinners, come, 'tis mercy's voice;
The gracious call obey;
Mercy invites to heavenly joys-
And can you yet delay ?

4 Dear Saviour, draw reluctant hearts;
To thee let sinners fly,

And take the bliss thy love imparts,
And drink, and never die.

Steele.

119. The Sinner Called. S. M.

1 Return and come to God;

Cast all your sins away;

Seek ye the Saviour's cleansing blood;
Repent, believe, obey.

2. Say not ye cannot come-
For Jesus bled, and died,
That none who ask in humble faith
Should ever be denied.

3 Say not ye will not come-
'Tis God vouchsafes to call,
And fearful shall their end be found,
On whom his wrath shall fall.

4 Come then, whoever will,

Come while 'tis called to-day; Flee to the Saviour's cleansing blood;

Repent, believe, obey.

Bp. Doane.

120." Behold, I stand at the Door." L.M.

1 Behold a stranger at the door!
He gently knocks, has knock'd before ;
Has waited long—is waiting still:
You treat no other friend so ill.

2 Oh, lovely attitude, he stands
With melting heart and loaded hands!
Oh, matchless kindness! and he shows
This matchless kindness to his foes;

3 But will he prove a friend indeed?
He will; the very friend you need:
The friend of sinners-yes, 'tis He,
With garments dyed on Calvary.
4 Rise, touch'd with gratitude divine;
Turn out his enemy and thine,
That soul-destroying monster, sin,
And let the heavenly Stranger in.
5 Admit him, ere his anger burn—
His feet departed, ne'er return :
Admit him, or the hour 's at hand
You'll at his door rejected stand.

121. Sinners Entreated to Hear. 8, 7. 4.

1 Sinners, will you scorn the message
Sent in mercy from above?
Every sentence, O how tender!
Every line is full of love:

Listen to it

Every line is full of love.

2 Hear the heralds of the Gospel,
News from Zion's King proclaim,
To each rebel sinner, "Pardon,
"Free forgiveness in his name:"
How important!

Free forgiveness in his name!
