HYMN 2. L.M.

1 TA Creest er n’aarlagh shibber vooar,
Lesh beaghey flannyssagh dy liooar,
As cour dagh annym t’echey room;
T’eh geam da ooilley tar-jee hym.

2 Ta Creest cur lesh e laanid hiu,
Cuirraghyn berchagh t’echey diu;
Nastee, ta Yeesey cur dagh nhee,
Pardoon, as marish glennid cree.

3 Nagh jean shin leshtal ta mee guee,
Nagh soie shin beg jeh cuirrey Yee;
Treig shiu dagh taitnys boght neu-feeu;
Dy ghoaill yn ghrayse t’ec Yeesey diu.

4 Kys uirragh shiu veih lheid y boayl,
Veih slaynt, as niart, as bea gherjoil!
Veih gloyr, as maynrys fegooish kione,
Veih sheshaght Chreest, as ooilley ‘chloan.

5 Tar shiu ta laadit lesh angaish,
Ta shooyl gyn gerjagh shirrey aash;
O tar shiu voghtyn doal, as treih,
As cha jean Creest shin yooildey veih.

6 My Hiarn graysoil, cha naillish coayl,
Yn peccagh s’treih, yn annym s’moal;
O tar shiu s’messey as s’peccoil,
As yiow shiu Yeesey feer ghraysoil.

7 She nish ta’n earish jiu yn laa,
Eer nish t’eh geam diu dy hyndaa;
O tar shiu reue fegooish cumrail,
As Creest hur baase nee shin hauail.

1 COME, sinners, to the gospel feast;
Let every soul be Jesu’s guest;
Ye need not one be left behind,
For God hath bidden all mankind.

2 Sent by my Lord, on you I call;
The invitation is to ALL:
Come, all the world ; come, sinner, thou;
All things in Christ are ready now.

3 Come, all ye souls by sin opprest,
Ye restless wanderers after rest,
Ye poor, and maim’d, and halt, and blind,
In Christ a hearty welcome find.

4 Come, and partake the gospel feast;
Be saved from sin; in Jesus rest:
O taste the goodness of your God,
And eat his flesh, and drink his blood!

5 Ye vagrant souls, on you I call
(O that my voice could reach you all!)
Ye all may now be justified;
Ye all may live, for Christ hath bled.

6 My message as from God receive;
Ye all may come to Christ, and live;
O let his love your hearts constrain,
Nor suffer him to die in vain!

7 his love is mighty to compel;
His conquering love consent to feel;
Yield to his love’s resistless power,
And fight against your God no more.

8 See him set forth before your eyes,
That precious, bleeding Sacrifice!
His offer’d benefits emIrace,
And freely now be saved by grace.

9 This is the time ; no more delay;
This is the acceptable day;
Come in, this moment, at his call,
And live for him who died for all.
