An invitation to the gospel feast
Hymnal: HSoH1802 #CCCXXXV (1802) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Ye wretched, hungry, starving poor Lyrics: 1 Ye wretched, hungry, starving poor,
Behold a royal feast!
Where mercy spreads her bounteous store,
For every humble guest.
2 See, Jesus stands with open arms;
he calls, he bids you come;
Guilt holds you back and fear alarms;
But see, there yet is room:
3 Room in the Saviour's bleeding heart;
There love and pity meet;
Nor will he bid the soul depart,
That trembles at his feet.
4 In him the Father reconcil'd,
Invites your souls to come;
The rebel shall be call'd a child,
And kindly welcom'd home.
5 O come, and with his children taste
The blessings of his love;
While hope attends the sweet repast
Of nobler joys above.
6 There, with united heart and voice,
Before th' eternal throne,
Ten thousand thousand souls rejoice,
In ecstacies unknown.
7 And yet ten thousand thousand more,
Are welcome still to come:
Ye longing souls, the grace adore,
Approach, there yet is room. Topics: Invitation To the gospel feast Scripture: Luke 14:22 Languages: English

True and false zeal
Hymnal: HSoH1802 #CCXXXVII (1802) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Zeal is that pure and heav'nly flame Lyrics: 1 Zeal is that pure and heav'nly flame,
The fire of love supplies;
While that which often bears the name,
Is self in a disguise.
2 True zeal is merciful and mild,
Can pity and forbear;
The false is headstrong, fierce and wild,
And breathes revenge and war.
3 While zeal for truth the Christian warms,
He knows the worth of peace;
But self contends for names and forms,
Its party to increase.
4 Zeal has attain'd its highest aim,
Its end is satisfy'd;
If sinners love the Saviour's name,
Nor seeks it ought beside.
5 But self however well employ'd,
Has its own ends in view;
And says as boasting Jehu cry'd,
"Come see what I can do."
6 Self may its poor reward obtain,
And be applauded here;
But zeal the best applause will gain,
When Jesus shall appear.
7 Dear Lord, the idol self dethrone,
And from our hearts remove;
And let no zeal by us be shown,
But that which springs from love. Topics: Zeal, true and false Languages: English
