Turn ye

 

Some of the old hymns are so anointed: here's one -

O turn ye, o turn ye, for why will ye die?

 When God , in great mercy, is coming so nigh?

Now Jesus invites you, the Spirit it says come!

 And angels are waiting to welcome you home.

And now Christ is ready, your soul to receive, 

 Oh how can you question,  if you will believe?

If sin is your burden, why will you not come?

 Tis you He makes welcome, He bids you come home.

In riches, in pleasures,  what can you obtain, 

 to sooth your affliction,  or banish your pain?

To bear up your spirit when summoned to die

 or waft you to mansions of glory on high?

Why will you be starving and feeding on air?

 There's mercy in Jesus, enough and to spare! 

If still you are doubting,  make trial and see

and prove that His mercy is boundless and free!

And this one - 

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,

a wonderful Savior is he.

He hides my soul in the cleft of the Rock, 

where rivers of pleasure i see.

He hides my soul in the cleft of the Rock 

that shadows a thirsty land

He hides my life in the depths of his love

and covers me with his hand, and covers me with his hand. 

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord, 

He takes my burden away,

He holds me up and I shall not be moved,

He gives me strength as my Day.

With numberless blessings each moment He crowns

and filled with His fulness Divine

I sing in my rapture oh glory to God 

for such a Redeemer as mine!

When clothed in His brightness,  transported i rise

To meet Him in clouds of the sky,

His perfect salvation,  His wonderful love,

I'll shout with the millions on high!
