3 O Jesus! ride onward, triumphantly glorious, O’er sin, death, and hell, thou art more than victorious; Thy name is the theme of the great congregation, While angels and saints raise the shout of salvation.
333 11s & 10s. The wandering sinner, etc.
Restless thy spirit, poor wandering sinner, Restless and roving: O, come to thy home! Return to the arms, to the bosom, of mercy; The Saviour of sinners invites thee to come.
2 Darkness surrounds thee, and tempests are rising, Fearful and dangerous the path thou hast trod; But mercy shines forth in the rainbow of promise, To welcome the wanderer home to his God.
3 Peace to the storm in thy soul shall be spoken, Guilt from thy bosom be banished away; And heaven’s sweet breezes, o’er death’s rolling billows, Shall waft thee at last to the regions of day.
334 12s & 11s. The harvest is past, etc. Jer. 8:20.
Hark, sinner, while God from on high doth entreat thee, And warnings with accents of mercy do blend; Give ear to his voice, lest in judgment he meet thee; “The harvest is passing, the summer will end.”
2 How oft of thy danger and guilt he hath told thee! How oft still the message of mercy doth send! Haste, haste, while he waits in his arms to enfold thee; “The harvest is passing, the summer will end.”
3 Despised and rejected, at length he may leave thee: What anguish and horror thy bosom will rend! Then, haste thee, O sinner, while he will receive thee; “The harvest is passing, the summer will end.”
4 Ere long, and Jehovah will come in his power; Our God will arise, with his foes to contend: Haste, haste thee, O sinner; prepare for that hour; “The harvest is passing, the summer will end.”
5 The Saviour will call thee in judgment before him: O, bow to his scepter, and make him thy Friend; Now yield him thy heart; make haste to adore him; “The harvest is passing, the summer will end.”
335 8s, 6s & 4. Entreaty.
Sinners, come; no longer wander; Turn you from your evil way; Precious time no longer squander: Come, come away.
2 Christ for you his life has offered, What can you excusing say, If you slight the pardon proffered? Come, come away.
3 Hold not back in hesitation, There is danger in delay, Haste, secure your soul’s salvation, Come, come away.
4 You may feel regret and sorrow, If you fail to come to-day, God may grant you no to-morrow, Come, come away.
