217 He is Calling. 8s & 7s. _Divine Sympathy._ (477) There's a wideness in God's mercy, Like the wideness of the sea; There's a kindness in his justice, Which is more than liberty. Ref.--He is calling, "Come to me;" Lord, I'll gladly haste to thee. 2 There's no place where earthly sorrows Are more felt than up in heaven; There's no place where earthly failings Have such kindly judgment given. 3 For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind, And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. 4 But we make his love too narrow, By false limits of our own; And we magnify his strictness With a zeal he will not own. 5 Pining souls, come nearer Jesus; Come, but come not doubting thus; Come with faith that trusts more freely His great tenderness for us. 6 If our love were but more simple, We should take him at his word; And our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord. Frederick Faber, _ab._ 218 Come to Jesus. (478) Come to Jesus, come to Jesus, Come to Jesus just now, Just now come to Jesus, Come to Jesus just now. 2 He will save you. 3 Oh, believe him. 4 He is able. 5 He is willing. 6 He'll receive you. 7 Call upon him. 8 He will hear you. 9 Look unto him. 10 He'll forgive you. 11 Flee to Jesus. 12 He will cleanse you. 13 He will clothe you. 14 Jesus loves you. 15 Don't reject him. 16 Only trust him. 17 Hallelujah. Amen. 219 Who'll Be the Next? P.M. _Delay Deplored._ Who'll be the next to follow Jesus? Who'll be the next the cross to bear? Someone is ready, someone is waiting; Who'll be the next a crown to wear? Ref.--Who'll be the next? Who'll be the next? Who'll be the next to follow Jesus? Who'll be the next to follow Jesus now? Follow Jesus now? 2 Who'll be the next to follow Jesus-- Follow his weary, bleeding feet? Who'll be the next to lay ev'ry 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 thro' the Jordan's rolling tide? Who'll be the next to join with the ransomed, Singing upon the other side? Annie S. Hawks. 220 Let Him In. P.M. _The Stranger at the Door._ There's a stranger at the door, Let him in, He has been there oft before, Let him in; Let him in ere he is gone, Let him in, the Holy One, Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, Let him in. 2 Open now to him your heart, Let him in, If you wait he will depart, Let him in; Let him in, he is your Friend, He your soul will sure defend, He will keep you to the end, Let him in.
