• [Luk 15:2] My Savior Sinners Doth Receive

  My Savior sinners doth receive Who find no rest and no salvation, To whom no man can comfort give, So great their guilt and condemnation; For whom the world is all too small, Their sins both them and God appall; With whom the Law itself hath broken, On whom its judgment hath been spoken— To them the Gospel hope doth give: My Savior sinners doth receive. My Savior sinners doth receive. A love more deep than mother-love, With which His heart was overflowing, Drew Him on earth from Heav’n above, On sinners boundless grace bestowing, He in their stead a curse became, He bore the cross with all its shame; Brought full atonement by His suffering, Gave up His life for them an offering. This comfort doth the Gospel give: My Savior sinners doth receive. My Savior sinners doth receive. His loving bosom still remains A haven for the heavy laden; Christ frees them from their guilty stains, Their burdened hearts doth ease and gladden. He casts into th’unfathomed sea The load of their iniquity; He gives assurance by His Spirit That they are saved through His own merit. Yea, they shall live who this believe: My Savior sinners doth receive. My Savior sinners doth receive. Say not: “My sins are far too great, His mercy I have scorned and slighted, Now my repentance is too late; I came not when His love invited.” O trembling sinner, have no fear; In penitence to Christ draw near. Come now, though conscience still is chiding; Accept His mercy, e’er abiding. Come; blest are they who this believe: My Savior sinners doth receive. My Savior sinners doth receive. Oh, draw us ever unto Thee, Thou Friend of sinners, gracious Savior; Help us that we may fervently Desire Thy pardon, peace and favor. When guilty conscience doth reprove, Reveal to us Thy heart of love. May we, our wretchedness beholding, See then Thy pardoning grace unfolding And say: “To God all glory be: My Savior, Christ, receiveth me. My Savior, Christ, receiveth me.”

  Afflictions, though they seem severe; In mercy oft are sent; They stopped the prodigal’s career, And forced him to repent. Although he no relentings felt Till he had spent his store; His stubborn heart began to melt When famine pinched him sore. “What have I gained by sin, he said, But hunger, shame, and fear; My father’s house abounds with bread, While I am starving here. I’ll go, and tell him all I’ve done, And fall before his face Unworthy to be called his son, I’ll seek a servant’s place.” His father saw him coming back, He saw, and ran, and smiled; And threw his arms around the neck Of his rebellious child. “Father, I’ve sinned—but O forgive!” I’ve heard enough, he said, Rejoice my house, my son’s alive, For whom I mourned as dead. Now let the fatted calf be slain, And spread the news around; My son was dead, but lives again, Was lost, but now is found. ’Tis thus the Lord His love reveals, To call poor sinners home; More than a father’s love He feels, And welcomes all that come.

• [Luk 15:18] Last Prayer, A

  Father, I scarcely dare to pray, So clear I see, now it is done, How I have wasted half my day, And left my work but just begun. So clear I see that things I thought Were right or harmless were a sin; So clear I see that I have sought, Unconscious, selfish aims to win. So clear I see that I have hurt The souls I might have helped to save; That I have slothful been, inert, Deaf to the calls Thy leaders gave. In outskirts of Thy kingdoms vast Father, the humblest spot give me; Set me the lowliest task Thou hast, Let me repentant work for Thee.

• [Luk 15:18] Like A Wayward Child I Wandered

  Like a wayward child I wandered From my Father’s house away, But I hear His voice entreating, And I’m coming home today. Refrain Coming, coming home, Coming, coming home, For I can no longer roam; I am sad and broken hearted, And I’m coming, coming home! I have wandered in the darkness, And my path was lone and drear, But my Father did not leave me, He was watching ever near. Refrain O the rapture that awaits me When I reach my Father’s door! Once within its blest enclosure, I am safe forevermore. Refrain I will ask Him to forgive me For the wrong that I have done, To receive, accept and bless me, Through His well belovèd Son. Refrain

  I’ve wandered far away from God, Now I’m coming home; The paths of sin too long I’ve trod, Lord, I’m coming home.

• [Luk 15:18] Lord, To Thee I Make Confession

  Lord, to Thee I make confession; I have sinned and gone astray, I have multiplied transgression, Chosen for myself my way. Led by Thee to see my errors, Lord, I tremble at Thy terrors. Yet, though conscience’s voice appall me, Father, I will seek Thy face; Tho’ Thy child I dare not call me, Yet receive me to Thy grace. Do not for my sins forsake me; Do not let Thy wrath o’ertake me. For Thy Son did suffer for me, Gave Himself to rescue me, Died to heal me and restore me, Reconciled me unto Thee. ’Tis alone His cross can vanquish These dark fears and soothe this anguish. Then on Him I cast my burden, Sink it in the depths below. Let me know Thy gracious pardon, Wash me, make me white as snow. Let Thy Spirit leave me never; Make me only Thine forever.

• [Luk 15:18] People Of The Living God

  People of the living God, I have sought the world around; Paths of sin and sorrow trod, Peace and comfort nowhere found: Now to you my spirit turns— Turns a fugitive unblest; Brethren, where your altar burns, Oh, receive me into rest. Lonely I no longer roam Like the cloud, the wind, the wave; Where you dwell shall be my home, Where you die shall be my grave; Mine the God Whom you adore; Your Redeemer shall be mine; Earth can fill my soul no more— Every idol I resign. Tell me not of gain and loss, Ease, enjoyment, pomp, and pow’r; Welcome poverty and cross, Shame reproach, affliction’s hour. “Follow Me”—I know Thy voice; Jesus, Lord, Thy steps I see; Now I take Thy yoke by choice, Light Thy burden now to me.

• [Luk 15:18] Pilgrim, Burdened With Thy Sin

  Pilgrim, burdened with thy sin, Come the way to Zion’s gate: There, till mercy lets thee in, Knock, and weep, and watch, and wait. Knock—He knows the sinner’s cry; Weep—He loves the mourner’s tears; Watch, for saving grace is nigh; Wait, till heavenly light appears. Hark, it is the Bridegroom’s voice: “Welcome, pilgrim to thy rest!” Now within the gate rejoice, Safe, and sealed, and bought, and blest Safe, from all the lures of vice; Sealed, by signs the chosen know; Bought by love, and life the price; Blest, the mighty debt to owe. Holy pilgrim, what for thee In a world like this remain? From thy guarded breast shall flee Fear, and shame, and doubt, and pain; Fear, the hope of Heav’n shall fly; Shame, from glory’s view retire; Doubt, in certain rapture die; Pain, in endless bliss expire.

• [Luk 15:18] Prodigal Son, The

  Out in the wilderness wild and drear, Sadly I’ve wandered for many a year, Driven by hunger and filled with fear, I will arise and go; Backward with sorrow my steps to trace, Seeking my heavenly Father’s face, Willing to take but a servant’s place, I will arise and go. Refrain Back to my Father and home, Back to my Father and home, I will arise and go Back to my Father and home. Why should I perish in dark despair, Here where there’s no one to help or care, When there is shelter and food to spare? I will arise and go; Deeply repenting the wrong I’ve done, Worthy no more to be called a son, Hoping my Father His child may own, I will arise and go. Refrain Sweet are the memories that come to me, Faces of loved ones again I see, Visions of home where I used to be, I will arise and go; Others have gone who had wandered, too, They were forgiven, were clothed anew, Why should I linger with home in view? I will arise and go. Refrain O that I never had gone astray! Life was all radiant with hope one day, Now all its treasures I’ve thrown away, Yet I’ll arise and go; Something is saying, “God loves you still, Tho’ you have treated His love so ill,” I must not wait, for the night grows chill, I will arise and go.

Refrain Take the home-path, take the home-path, Night is coming, do not wait; Take the home-path, take the home-path, Take the home-path ere too late.

• [Luk 15:18] Th’abyss Of Many A Former Sin

  Th’abyss of many a former sin Encloses me and bars me in; Like billows my transgressions roll: Be Thou the Pilot of my soul, And to salvation’s harbor bring Thou Savior and Thou glorious King. My Father’s heritage abused, Wasted by lust, by sin misused; To shame and want and misery brought, The slave to many a fruitless thought, I cry to Thee, who lovest men, O pity and receive again! In hunger now, no more possessed, Of that my portion bright and blest, The exile and the alien see, Who yet would fain return to Thee, And save me, Lord, who seek to raise To Thy dear love the hymn of praise! With that blest thief my prayer I make, “Remember” for Thy mercy’s sake! With that poor publican I cry, “Be merciful,” O God most high! With that lost prodigal I fain Back to my home would turn again! Mourn, mourn, my soul, with earnest care, And raise to Christ the contrite prayer; “O Thou, who freely wast made poor, My sorrows and my sins to cure, Me, poor of all good works, embrace, Enriching with Thy boundless grace!”

• [Luk 15:20] Father, Again In Jesus’ Name We Meet

  Father, again in Jesus’ Name we meet, And bow in penitence beneath Your feet; Again to You our feeble voices raise, To sue for mercy, and to sing Your praise. O we would bless You for Your ceaseless care, And all Your works from day to day declare; Is not our life with hourly mercies crowned? Does not Your arm encircle us around? Alas, unworthy of Your boundless love, Too oft with careless feet from You we rove; But now, encouraged by Your voice, we come, Returning sinners to a Father’s home. O by that Name in Whom all fulness dwells, O by that love which ev’ry love excels, O by that blood so freely shed for sin, Open blest mercy’s gate and take us in.

  Where is my wandering boy tonight— The boy of my tenderest care, The boy that was once my joy and light, The child of my love and prayer? Refrain O where is my boy tonight? O where is my boy tonight? My heart o’erflows, for I love him, he knows; O where is my boy tonight?

Refrain O could I see you now, my boy, As fair as in olden time, When prattle and smile made home a joy, And life was a merry chime! Refrain Go for my wandering boy tonight; Go search for him where you will; But bring him to me with all his blight, And tell him I love him still. Refrain

• [Luk 15:21] O Great God Of Nations

  O great God of nations, revive us, we pray, Raise prodigal hearts to contrition today; In pride have we turned from Your life giving Word, Embracing the darkness while truth goes unheard. Create deep within us a clean heart today, Renew a right spirit, and teach us to say: Awaken, my soul, and send anthems above, To Him Who is yearning to bless you in love. Forsake not Your people though far we do roam, As hedonists, spendthrifts, abandoning home; But finally, throwing our folly aside, We see You are waiting with arms open wide. We plead Your forgiveness, our Father, we pray, O heal prideful blindness and teach us to say: How mighty the love that can conquer our sin, And open the door to the banquet within. In faith and in gratitude, then, must we share The good news of Jesus with lands everywhere, With peoples still groping and stumbling in night; For them You command us to send out the light. To shout from the rooftops, proclaim o’er the wave, That Christ has redeemed from the depths of the grave: Pour out, then, Your Spirit, afresh in this hour, Enable our tongues to speak out with Your power.

• [Luk 15:24] Abba, Father! We Approach Thee

  “Abba, Father!” We approach Thee In our Savior’s precious Name; We, Thy children, here assembled, Now Thy promised blessing claim; From our sins His blood hath washed us, ’Tis through Him our souls draw nigh, And Thy Spirit, too, hath taught us, “Abba, Father,” thus to cry. Once as prodigals we wandered In our folly far from Thee, But Thy grace, o’er sin abounding, Rescued us from misery; Thou Thy prodigals hast pardoned, Kissed us with a Father’s love, Spread the festive board, and called us, E’er to dwell with Thee above. Clothed in garments of salvation, At Thy table is our place, We rejoice, and Thou rejoicest, In the riches of Thy grace; “It is meet,” we hear Thee saying, “We should merry and be glad, I have found My once lost children, Now they live who once were dead.” “Abba, Father!” all adore Thee, All rejoice in Heav’n above, While in us they learn the wonders Of Thy wisdom, grace, and love; Soon before Thy throne assembled, All Thy children shall proclaim, “Glory, everlasting glory, Be to God and to the Lamb!”
