4 Nor shall thy spreading gospel rest Till through the world thy truth has run; Till Christ has all the nations blest, That see the light, or feel the sun. 5 Great Sun of Righteousness, arise, Bless the dark world with heavenly light; Thy gospel makes the simple wise, Thy laws are pure, thy judgments right. 6 Thy noblest wonders here we view, The love of Christ shed abroad in the heart. 1 Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwell, 2 Come, fill our hearts with inward strength, And learn the height, and breadth, and length 3 Now to the God, whose pow'r can do More than our thoughts or wishes know; Be everlasting honors done, By all the church, through Christ his Son. 2 We're going to see the chosen Lamb,-Will you go? The conqueror's palms our hands shall bear, And all the joys of heaven we'll share! Will you go? Will you go? 3 Ye weary, heavy laden, come,-Will you go? Will you go? If thou wilt on him now believe, He'll give thy troubled conscience ease,—Come believe, O believe! 4 The way to Heaven is straight and plain,-Will you go? Will you go? Repent, believe, be born again,-Will you go? Will you go? The Savior cries aloud to thee, "Take up thy cross and follow me," And thou shalt my salvation see,-Come to me, Come to me. The True Resolve. My Savior's voice invites me here, Will you come? Will you come? And loving him without a fear, I will come? I will come? And I the sparkling fount will find, That Jesus opened for the mind, To quench its thirst-and they inclined, I will come! I will come! 2 The daring tempter stands without, Will you come? O never let me heed their cry, But from their wiles with terror fly, Will you come? Will you come? And passing all the tempters by, Let me come! Let me come! 3 Angels will hear that blissful sound, I will come! I will come! That I am where I e'er should be, Within his temple gates so free--I will come! I will come! 2 How vain the delusion, that while you delay, 3 And now Christ is ready your souls to receive, Why sleep we, my brethren? come let us arise, 2 O, how can we slumber! the Master is come, 3 O, how can we slumber! our foes are awake; 4 O, how can we slumber! when so much was done, For human salvation by Jesus the Son! Now mercy is proffer'd, and justice display'd, Now God can be honor'd, and sinners be saved. 3 |
