-Thou wilt receive,

5 Just as I am

Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,
Because Thy promise I believe-

O Lamb of God, I come!

6 Just as I am-Thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be Thine, yea, Thine alone-
O Lamb of God, I come!

5.

I WHY do you wait, my brother?
Oh, why do you tarry so long?
Your Saviour in mercy would give you
A place in His sanctified throng.
Why not? why not?

Why not come to Him now?
Why not? why not?

Why not come to Him now?

2 What do you hope, my brother,
To gain by a further delay?
There's no one to save you but Jesus,
There's no other way but His way.

3 Do you not feel, my brother,

His Spirit now striving within?
Oh, why not accept His salvation,
And throw off thy burden of sin?

4 Linger no longer, brother!

The harvest is passing away,
Your Saviour is longing to bless you;
There's danger and death in delay.

6.

I TEMPTED and tried !

Oh, the terrible tide

May be raging and deep, may be wrathful and wide; Yet its fury is vain,

For the Lord shall restrain,

And for ever and ever Jehovah shall reign.

Tempted and tried !

Yet the Lord at thy side

Shall guide thee and keep thee,
Though tempted and tried.

2 Tempted and tried!
There is One at thy side,

And never in vain shall His children confide:
He shall save and defend,

For He loves to the end,

Adorable Master and glorious Friend!

3 Tempted and tried !
Whate'er may betide,

In His secret pavilion His children shall hide :
'Neath the shadowy wing

Of eternity's King,

His children shall trust, and His servants shall sing. 4 Tempted and tried!

Yet the Lord will abide,

Thy faithful Redeemer, thy Keeper, and Guide,
Thy Shield, and thy Sword,
Thine exceeding Reward:

Then enough for the servant to be as his Lord.
5 Tempted and tried !

The Saviour who died

Hath call'd thee to suffer and reign by His side:
His cross thou shalt bear,

And His crown thou shalt wear,

And for ever and ever His glory shall share.

7.

I YIELD not to temptation,
For yielding is sin,

Each vict'ry will help you

Some other to win;
Fight manfully onward,

Dark passions subdue,

Look ever to Jesus,

He'll carry you through!

Ask the Saviour to help you,
Comfort, strengthen, and keep you ;

He is willing to aid you,

He will carry you through.

2 Shun evil companions,
Bad language disdain,

God's name hold in rev'rence,
Nor take it in vain ;

Be thoughtful and earnest,
Kind-hearted and true,
Look ever to Jesus,

He'll carry you through!

3 To him that o'ercometh
God giveth a crown,
Through faith we shall conquer,
Though often cast down;
He who is our Saviour

Our strength will renew,

Look ever to Jesus,

He'll carry you through.

8.

I HASTE, traveller, haste! the night comes on,
And many a shining hour is gone;

The storm is gathering in the west,
And thou art far from home and rest;
Haste, traveller, haste!

2 O far from home thy footsteps stray;
Christ is the Life, and Christ the Way,
And Christ the Light; thy setting sun
Sinks ere thy morning is begun;

Haste, traveller, haste!

3 Awake, awake! pursue thy way
With steady course, while yet 'tis day;
While thou art sleeping on the ground,
Danger and darkness gather round;

Haste, traveller, haste!

4 The rising tempest sweeps the sky!
The rains descend, the winds are high;
The waters swell, and death and fear
Beset thy path, nor refuge near;

Haste, traveller, haste!

5 O yes! a shelter you may gain,
A covert from the wind and rain,
A hiding-place, a rest, a home,
A refuge from the wrath to come;

Haste, traveller, haste!

6 Then linger not in all the plain,
Flee for thy life, the mountain gain;
Look not behind, make no delay,
O speed thee, speed thee on thy way;
Haste, traveller, haste!

7 Poor, lost, benighted soul! art thou
Willing to find salvation now?

There yet is hope; hear mercy's call!
Truth! Life! Light! Way! in Christ is all!
Haste to Him, haste!

9.

I THROUGH the love of God our Saviour
All will be well;

Free and changeless is His favour;
All, all is well!

Precious is the Blood that heal'd us,
Perfect is the grace that seal'd us;

Strong the Hand stretch'd forth to shield us ;
All must be well!

2 Though we pass through tribulation, All will be well;

Ours is such a full salvation,

All, all is well!

Happy, still to God confiding,
Fruitful, if in Christ abiding,
Holy, through the Spirit's guiding;
All must be well!

3 We expect a bright to-morrow,
All will be well;

Faith can sing through days of sorrow,
All, all is well!

On our Father's love relying,

Jesus every need supplying,
Or in living, or in dying,

All must be well!

10.

I WHO'LL be the next to follow Jesus?

Who'll be the next His cross to bear? Some one is ready, some one is waiting! Who'll be the next a crown to wear?

Who'll be the next to follow Jesus now?

2 Who'll be the next to follow Jesus-
Follow His weary, bleeding feet?
Who'll be the next to lay every burden
Down at the Father's
mercy-seat?

3 Who'll be the next to follow Jesus?

Who'll be the next to praise His name? Who'll swell the chorus of free redemption, Sing hallelujah! praise the Lamb?

4 Who'll be the next to follow Jesus

Down through the Jordan's rolling tide? Who'll be the next to join with the ransom'd, Singing upon the other side?

11.

I THERE is a safe and secret place
Beneath the wings divine,

Reserved for all the heirs of grace;
O, be that refuge mine!

2 The least and feeblest there may bide
Uninjured and unawed;

While thousands fall on every side,
He rests secure in God.

3 The angels watch him on his way,
And aid with friendly arm;
And Satan, roaring for his prey,
May hate, but cannot harm.

4 He feeds in pastures large and fair
Of love and truth divine :
O child of God, O glory's heir,
How rich a lot is thine!

5 A hand Almighty to defend,
An ear for every call,

An honour'd life, a peaceful end,
And Heaven to crown it all!

12.

I INTO a desolate land

White with the drifted snow,

Into a weary land

Our truant footsteps go:
