Delay not, delay not; oh sinner! draw near

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 361 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Delay not, delay not, oh sinner! draw near; The waters of life are now flowing for thee: No price is demanded; the Savior is here; Redemption is purchased, salvation is free. 2 Delay not, delay not; why longer abuse The love and compassion of Jesus, thy God? A fountain is open; how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood? 3 Delay not, delay not, oh sinner! to come, For mercy still lingers, and calls thee to-day; Her voice is not heard in the vale of the tomb: Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away. 4 Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of grace, Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight; And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the gloom of eternity’s night. 5 Delay not, delay not: the hour is at hand, The earth shall dissolve, and the heavens shall fade; The dead, small and great, in the judgment shall stand; What helper, then, sinner, shall lend thee his aid?

My soul, repeat His praise

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 467 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat His praise, Whose mercies are so great; Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 God will not always chide; And when His wrath is felt, His strokes are fewer than our crimes, And lighter than our guilt. 3 High as the heavens are raised, Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of His grace Our highest thoughts exceed. 4 His grace subdues our sins; And His forgiving love Far as the east is from the west Doth all our guilt remove. 5 The pity of the Lord, To those that fear His name, Is such as tender parents feel; He knows our feeble frame. 6 Our days as are the grass, Or like the morning flower; If one sharp blast sweep o’er the field It withers in an hour. 7 But Thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure; And children’s children ever find Thy words of promise sure.

The Lord hath judgments for the proud And mercy for th'oppressed. 6 His wondrous works and ways He made by Moses known, But sent the world His truth and grace By His beloved Son.

For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand. 3 When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of sorrow shall not thee overflow; For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. 4 When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply; The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine. 5 The soul that to Jesus hath fled for repose, I will not, I cannot desert to his foes: That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never--no, never--no, never forsake!

The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 552 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd’s care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye; My noon-day walks He shall attend And all my midnight hours defend. 2 When in the sultry glebe I faint Or on the thirsty mountain pant, To fertile vales, and dewy meads, My weary, wandering steps He leads, Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Amid the verdant landscape flow. 3 Though in a bare and rugged way, Through devious lonely wilds I stray, His bounty shall my pains beguile; The barren wilderness shall smile, With lively greens and herbage crowned, And streams shall murmur all around. 4 Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, For Thou, O Lord! art with me still: Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade.

Though troubles assail, and dangers affright

Appears in 429 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Though troubles assail, and dangers affright, Though friends should all fail, and foes all unite; Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide, The promise assures us-- "The Lord will provide." 2 The birds without barn or storehouse are fed, From them let us learn to trust for our bread: His saints, what is fitting shall ne'er be denied, So long as 'tis written--The Lord will provide. 3 When Satan appears to stop up our path, And fills us with fears, we triumph by faith; He cannot take from us (thought oft he has tried) The heart-cheering promise--The Lord will provide. 4 He tells us we're weak--our hope is in vain; The good that we seek we ne'er shall obtain; But when such suggestions our spirits have plied, This answers all questions--The Lord will provide. 5 No strength of our own, nor goodness we claim: Our trust is all thrown on Jesus' blest name; In this our strong tower for safety we hide; The Lord is our power--The Lord will provide.
