PREFACE This collection was made with special reference to the wants of country churches, on revival occa- sions. My experience as an evangelist gave me an insight into the wants of tliose churches, that I am oonfident this littJe book will fully supply; for it will give them, at a very small price, just exactly what they neei), so that all may sing. It will at the same time, no doubt, be used largely and profitably by town and city congregations. The REVIVA1.1ST contains just one hundred re- vival songs, with a hundred and twenty-five grand, old choruses, all sound in doctrine and extremely devotional in spirit. I express my gratitude to the good brethren who have so kindly assisted me in this work ; and, also, to publishers who gave me permission to use their hymns. 1 may have used some that I had no right to ; if so, it was uot intended, and, if notified, I will try to make it satisfactory. Hoping The Rkvivalist may contribute largely to the success ot revival efforts all over the land, it Is most affectionately dedicated to the "Leading Spirits " of the great Revival ot 180U. , L. McWhektek. Princeton, Ky., Nov. 1, 18S0. (3) O Lord, revive thy work: wilt thou not rie- vive us again, that thy people may rejoice m thee? . . . Sing with the spirit and with the understanding, making melody m yousr heart to the Lord. — Bible, THE REVIVALIST 1 S. M. Wesley. Responsibility. 1 A CHARGE to keep I have, A God to glorify ; A never-dying soul to save, And fit it for the sky. 2 To serve the present age, My calling to fulfil ; O may it all my powers engage, To do my Master's will. 3 Arm me with jealous care, As in thy sight to live ; And O, thy servant, Lord, prepare; A strict account to give. 4 Help me to watch and pray. And on thyself rely. Assured, if I my trust betray, I shall forever die. CHORUS. (To Jesus My All.) Jesus my all to heaven is gone, And we'll all shout together in that morning; He whom I fix my hopes upon, And we'll all shout together in that morning; In that morning, in that morning, my Lord, And we'll all shout together in that morning. (5) THE REVIVALIST. C. M. Watiw. Sufferings of Christ. 1 Alas ! and did my Saviour bleed ? And did my Sovereign die ? Would he devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? CHORUS. O, how I love Jesus, O, how I love Jesus, 0, how I love Jesus, Because he first loved mc. How can I forget thee, How can I forget thee, How can I forget thee, Dear Lord, remember me. 2 Well might the sun in darkness hide^ And shut his glories in, When Christ, the mighty Saviour died For man, the creature's sin. 3 Thus might I hide my blushing face While his dear cross appears ; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes to tears. 4 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe ; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'T is all that I can do. THE REVIVALIST. C. M. Watts. The Christian Soldier, 1 Am I a soldier of the cross, A follower of the Lamb ? And shall I fear to own his cause, Or blush to speak his name? We will stand the storms, We will anchor by and by, by and by, We will stand the storms, We'll anchor by and by. 2 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood ? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God ? S Sure I must fight, if I would reign ; Increase my courage. Lord : I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by thy word. 4 Thy saints in all this glorious war Shall conquer, though they die; They see the triumph from afar, And seize it with their eye. 5 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thy armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be thine. THE REVIVALIST. C. M. Newton, Amazing Grace. 1 Amazing grace — how sweet the sound — That saved a wretch hke me ! I once was lost, but now am found; Was bUnd, but now I see. O, never mind the scoffs nor the frowns of the world, For we all have a cross to bear ; It will only make the stars the brighter shine. When we all get a crown to wear. 2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How pricious did that grace appear. The hour I first believed ! 3 Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come ; But grace has brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. 4 Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail. And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess, within the vail, A life of joy and peace. 5 And should the earth dissolve like snow. The sun forbear to shine ; Still God, who called me here below, Will be forever mine. THE REVIVALIST, CM. Approaching Christ. 1 Approach my soul, the mercy-seat. Where Jesus answers prayer; There humbly fall before his feet, For none can perish there. CHORUS. O, the gospel ship, is a gallant ship; A ship both safe and sound ; O, who will sail on the gospel ship, For the glorious land she's bound. Come without money, there is no price. No terms could easier be, For Jesus paid our passage there, And we'll have passage free. 2 Thy promise is my only plea, With this I venture nigh: Thou callest burdened souls to thee. For such, O Lord, am I, 3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin. By Satan sorely prest. By war without and fears within, I come to thee for rest. 4 O wond'rous love, to bleed and die. To bear the cross and shame, That guilty sinners, such as I, Might plead thy gracious name ! 1* THE REVIVALIST. L. M. Expression of Gratitude. 1 Awake, my soul, in joyful lays, And sing thy great Redeemer's praise; He justly claims a song from thee; His loving-kindness, O how free I 2 He saw me ruined in the fall. Yet loved me notwithstanding all; He saved me from my lost estate ; His loving-kindness, "O how great! 3 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud, Has gathered thick, and thundered loud, He near my soul has always stood; His loving-kindness, O how good I 4 Often I feel my sinful heart; Prone from my Saviour to depart; But though I oft have him forgot, His loving-kindness changes not. 5 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale, Soon all my mortal powers must fail; O ! may my last expiring breath. His loving-kindness sing in death 1 6 Then let me mount and soar away To the bright world of endless day; And sing with rapture and surprise, His loving-kindness in the skies. THE REVIVALIST. 6s. Wesley. Christ^s Intercession, 1 Arise, my soul, arise. Shake off thy guilty fears, • The bleeding sacritice In my behalf appears: Jesus paid it all, All to him I owe ; Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow, 2 Five bleeding wounds he bears. Received on Calvary ; They pour effectual prayers, They strongly plead for me : 3 The Father hears him pray, His dear anointed one, He cannot turn away The presence of his Son. 4 My God is reconciled, His pardoning voice I hear; He owns me for a child, I can no longer fear. CHORUS. (To P.M.) Hallelujah to the Lamb, who has purchased our pardon. We'll praise him again when we X)ass over Jordan. THE REVIVALIST. 8s & 6s. Sad Gethsemane. 1 Beyond where Cedron's waters flow, Behold the suffering Saviour go, To sad Gethsemane ; His countenance is all divine, Yet grief appears in every line. 2 He bows beneath the sins of men, He cries to God, and cries again, In sad Gethsemane ; He lifts his mournful eyes above, ■" My Father can this cup remove." 3 With gentle resignation still, He yielded to his Father's will, In sad Gethsemane ; ^'Behold me here, thy only Son, And Father, let thy will be done." 4 The Father heard, and angels there, Sustained the Son of God in prayer, In sad Gethsemane ; He drank the dreadful cup of pain, Then rose to life and joy again. 6 When storms of sorrow round us sweep, And scenes of anguish make us weep ; To sad Gethsemane, We'll look and see the Saviour there, And humbly bow, like him, in prayer. CHORUS. I'm bound for home, for my blissful home. The house and the city above ; And all who forsake their sins may come, And dwell in that city of love. THE REVIVALIST. L. M. Grigg, Jesus at the Door. 1 Behold a Stranger at the door! He gently knocks, has knocked before ; Has waited long — is waiting still ; You treat no other friend so ill. O, the Saviour is standing at the door! 0, the Saviour :s standing at the door! Will you let hiui in ? He will cleanse thy sin. O, the Saviour is standing at the door ! 2 lovely attitude ! He stands With melting heart and bleeding hands* O matchless kindness! and he shows This matchless kindness to his foes ! 3 But will he prove a Friend indeed ? He will ; the very Friend you need ; The Friend of sinners — yes, 'tis He, With garments dyed on Calvary. 4 Rise, touched with gratitude divine; Turn out his enemy and thine. That soul-destroying monster, sin, And let the heavenly Stranger in. 5 Admit him, ere his anger burn ; His feet departed, ne'er return ; Admit him, or the hour's at hand, You'll at his door rejected stand. THE REVIVALIST. iO 8s & 7s. An Appeal for Prayer. 1 Brethren, we have met to worship And adore the Lord our God; Will you pray with all your power, While we try to preach the word? CHORUS. All is vain, unless tlie Spirit Of the Holy One come down; Brethren, pray, and holy manna Will be shower'd all around, 2 Brethren, see poor sinners round you Slumbering on the brink of woe; Death is coming, hell is moving, Can you bear to let them go ? 3 Sisters, will you join and help us, While we struggle hard with sin; Will you tell to trembling mourners, Jesus waits to welcome them? 4 Let us love our God supremely, Let us love each other too ; Let us love and pray for sinners. Till our God makes all things new. CHORUS. {To Come Thou Fount.) I am happy, I am happy. And I'm hajjpy in the Lord, Nor I don't want to stay Forever here. THE REVIVALIST. 1 C. M. Watts. Seeking the Holy Spirit. 1 Come Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove^ With all thy quickening powers, Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of ours. 2 Look! how we grovel here beloAV^ Fond of these trifling toys ! Our souls can neither fly nor go To reach eternal joys. 3 lit vain we tune our formal songs In vain we strive to rise ; Hosannas languish on our tongues, And our devotion dies, 4 Dear Lord, and shall we ever livo At this poor, dying rate— Our love is faint, so cold to thee, And thine to us so sreat ? 5 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove With all thy quickening powers; Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love. And that shall kindle ours. CHORUS. {To Jesus My All.) O, the Lord has been with us, And the Lord is still with us. And he's promised to be with us to the end. THE REVIVALIST. 12 C. M. E. Jones. Invitation to Sinners. 1 Come, humble sinner, in whose breast A thousand thoughts revolve — Oome, with your guilt and fear oppressed, And make this last resolve : 2 I'll go to Jesus, though my sin Hath like a mountain rose ; I know his courts; I'll enter in, Whatever may oppose. 3 Prostrate I'll lie before his throne, And there my guilt confess; I'll tell him I'm a wretch undone Without his sovereign grace. 4 I'll to the gracious King approach Whose scepter pardon gives; Perhaps he may command my touch. And then the suppliant lives. 5 Perhaps he may admit my plea, Perhaps will hear my prayer; But if I perish, I will pray, And perish only there. 6 I can but perish if Fgo ; I am resolved to try ; For if I stay away, I know I must forever die. THE REVIVALIST. S. M. Watts. Christians Rejoicing. 1 Come, we that love the Lord, And let our joys be known; Join in a song of sweet accord, And thus surround the throne. CHORUS. O, you must be a lover of the Lord, O, you must be a lover of the Lord, O, you must be a lover of the Lord, Or you can't go to heaven when you die. 2 The sorrows of the mind Be banished from the place ; Religion never was designed To make our pleasures less. S Let those refuse to sing Wno never knew our God; But children of the heavenly King May speak their joys abroad. 4 The hill of Zion yields A thousand sacred sweets, Bjfore we reach the heavenly fields. Or walk the golden streets. 5 Then let our songs abound, And every tetir be dry; "We're marching through Iinmanuera ground, To fairer worlds on high. a2 THE REVIVALIST. 8s & 7s. Robinson. Mercies Acknowledged. 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing thy grace ; Streams of mercy, never ceasing. Call for songs of loudest praise. CHOEUS. 1 will arise, and go to Jesufl, He will embrace me in his arms; In the arms of my dear Saviour, 0, there are ten thousand charms, 2 Teach me some melodious measure Sung by raj^tured saints above ; Fill my soul with sacred pleasure, While I sing redeeming love. 3 Jesus sought me when a stranger. Wandering from the fold of God; He, to save my soul from danger, Interposed his precious blood. 4 O to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be ! Let thy grace. Lord, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to thee. 5 Prone to wander. Lord, I feel it; Prone to leave the God I love ; Here's my heart, O take and seal it; Seal it for thy courts above. THE REVIVALIST. 8s & 7s. Habt. Sinners Invited to Jesus. 1 Come, ye sinners, poor and needy, Weak and wounded, sick and sore; Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of pity, love, and power: Turn to the Lord and seek salvation, Sound the praise of His dear name ; Glory, honor, and salvation, Christ, the Lord, is come to. reign. 2 Now, ye needy, come and welcome ; God's free bounty glorify: True belief and true repentance — Every grace that brings you nigh. 3 Let not conscience make you linger; Nor of fitness fondly dream; All the fitness He requireth, Is to feel your need of Him. 4 Come, ye weary, heavy laden, Bruised and mangled by the fall ; If you tarry 'till you're better, You will never come at all. Chorus. — Oh, the blood ! the precious blood ! That Jesus shed for me ; Upon the cross, in crimson flood, Just now, by faith, I see. THE REVIVALIST. English.

Let us walk in the light, Let us walk in the light, In the light of God. 2 We are trav'ling home to God, In the way our fathers trod ; They are happy now, and we Soon their happiness shall see. 3 O, ye banished seed, be glad ! Christ our Advocate is made ; Us to save, our flesh assumes, Brother to our souls becomes. 4 Fear not, brethren, joyful stand On the borders of our land ; Jesus Christ, our Father's Son, Bids us undismayed go on. 5 Lord! obediently we'll go, Gladly leaving all below : Only Thou our leader be, And we still will follow Thee. THE REVIVALIST. C. M. Keep Praying. 1 Come burdened souls, with all your gilt, And all your weight of woe ; There's mercy at a throne of grace, Keep praying as you go. Keep praying, ever praying, Through all our journey below; To Jesus, to Jesus, Keep x)raying as you go. 2 Behold the precious Lamb who died For man, His love to show ; And while you seek the blood-stained cros8. Keep praying as you go. 3 Young soldiers, gird your armor on. And boldly meet the "foe ; Let faith direct, and hope inspire, Keep praying as you go. 4 Ye pilgrims on the heavenly way, Through trials here below, O, never doubt a Saviour's love; Keep praying as you go. CHORUS. {To Come Burdened Souls.) It is the hope, the blissful hope, Which Jesus' grace has given : The hope when daj^s and years are past. We all shall meet in heaven. THE REVIVALIST. S. M. Beddomk./ Christ In Tears. 1 I)iD Christ o'er sinners weep? And shall our cheeks be dry ? Let floods of penitential grief Burst forth from ev'ry eye 2 The Son of God in tears, Angels with wonder see ! Be thou astonished, my soul, He shed those tears for thee. 3 He wept, that we might weep: Each sin demands a tear ; In heaven alone no sin is found, And there's no weeping there. SONG.— Chorus. O, fathers, (mothers, etc.) ar'nt you happy, And don't you want to go, To leave this world of sorrow, And trouble here below ? Lord, I want more religion ! Lord, I want more religion !

The Christian's Inquiry. 1 Do not I love thee, my Lord ? Behold my heart and see, Vnd turn each cursed idol out That dares to rival thee. CHOKUS. I want to live a christian here, I want to die a shouting; I Wimt to feel my Saviour near, When soul and body's parting. 2 Do not I love thee from my soul? Then let me nothing iove: Dead be my heart to every joy, When Jesus cannot move. 3 Is not thy name melodious still To mine attentive ear? Doth not each pulse w ith pleasure bound. My Saviour's voice to hear ? 4 Hast thou a lamb in all thy flock I would disdain to feed ? Hast thou a foe, before whose face I fear thy cause to plead? 5 Thou knowest T love thee, dearest Lorr', But oh ! I long to soar Far from the sphere of mortal joys, And learn to love thee more. THE REVIVALIST, 21 7s & 6s. The Moui-ner^s Comforter. 1 Drooping souls, no longer grieve^ Heaven is propitious ; If on Christ you do believe, You shall find him precious. CHORUS. Jesus' blood has heal'd my wounds Oh ! the wondrous story ; I was lost, but now I'm found- Glory! glory! glory! 2 Jesus now is passing by, Calls the mourner to him ; He has died for you and me, Now look up and view him. 3 From his hands, his feet, his sidCy Runs the healing lotion ; See the rich, consoling tide. Boundless as the ocean, 4 See the living waters move. For the sick and dying ; Now resolve to find his love, Or to perish trying. 5 Streaming mercy, how it flowSp Now I know I feel it; ■ Half has never yet been told, Yet I want to tell it. 2b THE REVIVALIST. L. M. Tlie Land for Me. 1 Farewell, farewell to all below, My Saviour calls and I must go; 1 launch my boat upon the sea — This land is not the land for me. 2 I find the winding path of sin A rugged road to travel in — Beyond the chilling waves I see The land my Saviour bought for me, 3 A few more days, or years at most, We'll enter on fair Canaan's coast, The land of Paradise to see, And that's the land, the land for me. 4 sinner, why will you not go ! There's room enough for you, I know- My boat is sound, and passage free, And there's a better land for thee. ■5 Farewell, dear friends, I cannot stay. The home I seek is far away ; Where Christ is not I cannot be, That land is not the land for me. 6 There is a land prepared for me, The price was paid on Calvary ; I have some friends I hope to see, And that's the land, the land for me. THE REVIVALIST, 23 L. IVL The Pilgrim's Farewell. 1 Farewell, dear friends, I must be gOKej, I have no home or stay with you^ I'll take my staff and travel o>n, Till I a better world shall view.

Farewell, farewell, farewell, My loving friends, farewell I 2 Farewell, my brethren in the Lord, To you I'm bound in cords of love ; Yet we believe his gracious words. That soon we all shall meet above. 8 Farewell, old soldiers of the cross. You've struggled long and hard for heaven You've counted all things here but dross, Fight on, the crown shall soon be given^ 4 Farewell, poor careless sinners, too. It grieves my heart to leave you here. Eternal vengeance waits for you, 0, turn and find salvation near. CHORUS. {To any L.

StowelIm Tlie Mercy Seat. 1 From every stormy wind that blows, From every swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat, ^Tis found beneath the Mercy Seat. 2 There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads ; A place than all besides more sweet — It is the blood-bought Mercy Seat. 3 There is a scene where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowshi]) with friend, Tho' sundered far — by faith they meet Around one common Mercy Seat. 4 Ah ! whither could we flee for aid, When tempted, desolate, dismayed — Or how the host of hell defeat, Had suffering saints no Mercy Seat. 5 There ! there, on eagle wing we soar, And sin and sense seem all no more, And heaven comes down our souls to greet, And glory crowns the Mercy Seat. ■6 0, let my hand forget her skill, My tongue be silent, cold, and still, This bounding heart forget to beat, If I forget the Mercy Seat.

My sov'reign, eternal, unchangeable love; And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn 7. Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be borne. 5 The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose^ I will not, I will not desert to his foes !

Juy of a Convert. 1 How happy are they Who their Saviour obey, Aad have laid up their treasure above ! Tongue can never expiess The sweet comfort and peace, Of a soul in its earliest love. 2 That sweet comfort w:is n^ine When the favor divine 1 had found in the blood of the Lamb. When at first I believe,, What true joy I received, What a heaven in Jesus' sweet name : 3 'Twas a heaven below My Kedeemer to know ; And the angels could do nothing more Than to fall at his feet, And the story repeat, And the Lover of sinners adore. 4 Now my remnant of days Would I spend to his praise, Who hath died my poor f-oul to redeem Whether man}' or few.

Temptation without, and corruption within ; E'en the rapture of j^ardon is mingled with fears, And the cup of thanksgiving with penitent tears, P. I would not live alway ; no, welcome the tomb^ Since Jesus has lain there, I dread not its gloom ; Then sweet be my rest, till he bid me arise, To hail him in triumph descending the skies. 4 Oh! who would live alway, away from his God; Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode? Where the rivers of pleasure flow o'er the bright plains, And the noontide of glory eternally reigns. 5 Where saints of all ages in harmony moet, Their Sa,viour and brethren transported to greet- While the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll.

Suhdued by the Cross, 1 In evil long I took delight, Unawed by shame or fear ; Till a new object struck my sight, And stopped my wild career. 2 I saw one hanging on a tree, In agonies and blood, Who fixed his languid eyes on me, As near his cross I stood. Sure, never to my latest breath Can I forget that look ; It seemed to charge me with his death. Though not a word he spoke. 4 My conscience felt and owned the guilt, And plunged me in despair: 1 saw my sins his blood had spilt. And helped to nail him there. 5 A second look he gave, which said, " I freely all forgive ; This blood is for thy ransom paid; I die that thou may'st live." 6 Thus, while his death my sin displays In all its blackest hue.
