Lord's Supper is on Sunday. I was just thinking about that and this hymn by John M. Wigner popped into my head . . . and it won't go away, especially the phrase 'no vain excuses frame, for feelings do not stay.' It's weird cause I can't remember the last time I have heard this one, or the last time we have sung it in church.
Come to the Savior nowHe gently calleth thee
In true repentance bow
Before Him bend the knee
He waiteth to bestow
Salvation, peace and love
True joy on earth below
A home in heaven above
Come to the Savior now
Ye who have wandered far
Renew your solemn vow
For His by right you are
Come like poor wandering sheep
Returning to His fold
His arm will safely keep
His love will ne'er grow cold
Come to the Savior now
He offers all to thee
And in His merits thou
Hast an unfailing plea
No vain excuses frame
For feelings do not stay
None who to Jesus came
Were ever sent away
Come to the Savior now
What'er your burdens be
Hear now His loving call
"Cast all your car on Me"
Come, and for every grief
In Jesus you will find
A sure and safe relief
A loving friend and kind

Hi Carol-lee....wow! you're more faithful than I am :(
busy life...that's an understatement...
We just celebrated Lord's Supper last Sunday....I love your preparation words...good ones to read before next communion.
See you tomorrow night! :)
I love this song ... now it's going to be stuck in my head! I miss singing hymns - we sing a few at the church I go to, but most of them have different tunes.
Love & miss you . . .
