Disciples of Christ -- Hymns; Hymns, English
2 We’re going to see the bleeding Lamb;
Will you go?
In rapturous strains to praise his name;
Will you go?
The crown of life we there shall wear,
The conqueror’s palms our hands shall bear,
And all the joys of heaven we’ll share;
Will you go?
3 We’re going to join the heavenly choir;
Will you go?
To raise our voice and tune the lyre;
Will you go?
There saints and angels gladly sing
Hosanna to their God and King,
And make the heavenly arches ring;
Will you go?
4 Ye weary, heavy-laden, come;
Will you go?
In the blest house there still is room;
Will you go?
The Lord is waiting to receive,
If thou wilt on him now believe,
He’ll give thy troubled conscience ease;
Come, believe.
5 The way to heaven is straight and plain,
Will you go?
Believe, repent, be born again;
Will you go?
The Saviour cries aloud to thee
“Take up thy cross, and follow me,
And thou shalt my salvation see;
Come to me.”
6 O, could I hear some sinner say,
I will go,
I’ll start this moment, clear the way,
Let me go!
My old companions, fare you well,
I will not go with you to hell,
With Jesus Christ I mean to dwell,
Let me go! fare you well.
321 9s & 8s.
The Spirit and the Bride say come.
Rev. 22:17.
All you that are weary and sad—come!
And you that are cheerful and glad—come!
In robes of humility clad—come!
The Saviour invites you to-day.
CHORUS.
Let youth in its freshness and bloom—come!
Let man in the pride of his noon—come!
Let age on the verge of the tomb—come!
Let none in his pride stay away.
2 Let the halt, and the maimed, and the blind—come!
Let all who are freely inclined—come!
With an humble and peaceable mind—come!
Away from the waters of strife.
3 The Spirit and Bride freely say—Come!
And let him that heareth it, say—Come!
And let him that thirsteth to-day—come!
And drink of the fountain of life.
322 6s & 4s, peculiar.
The garment of praise, etc.
Isaiah 61:3.
Child of sin and sorrow, filled with dismay,
Wait not for to-morrow, yield thee to-day;
Heaven bids thee come
While yet there’s room:
Child of sin and sorrow,
Hear and obey.
2 Child of sin and sorrow, why wilt thou die?
Come, while thou canst borrow help from on high:
Grieve not that love,
Which from above—
Child of sin and sorrow—
Would bring thee nigh.
