Christ My Song - 502
Refuse him not, O man! - Hear, and your souls shall live
(Horatius Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Hear, and your souls shall live.
1. Refuse him not, O man!
He bids thee seek his face;
he beckons thee to come and taste
the riches of his grace.
Was ever grace like his,
so boundless and so free?
Grace for the guiltiest,
grace for thee! PDF - Midi
2. Reject him not, O man!
He speaketh from above;
he offers thee himself, and all
the fullness of his love.
Was ever love like his,
so boundless and so free?
Love for the sinfullest,
love for thee!
3. Resist him not, O man!
He lays his hand divine
upon thy head in love, and says
'Let all my peace be thine!'
Was ever peace like his,
so boundless and so free?
Peace for the fearfullest,
peace for thee!
4. Close not thine ear, O man!
With sin and toil oppressed;
he speaks to thee in love: 'Oh, come,
and I will give you rest!'
Was ever rest like his,
so boundless and so free?
Rest for the weariest,
rest for thee!
Horatius Bonar, Hymns of the Nativity, 1879, 54-55.
