COME, YE SINNERS
1. Come, ye sinners
poor and wretched,
Weak and wounded,
sick and sore;
Jesus ready waits
to save you,
Full of pity, love
and pow'r:
He is able, He is
able,
He is willing,
doubt no more.
2. Come, ye needy,
come and welcome;
God's free bounty
glorify;
True belief and
true repentance,
Every grace that
brings us nigh,
Without money,
without money,
Come to Jesus
Christ and buy.
3. Let not
conscience make you linger,
Nor of fitness fondly
dream;
All the fitness He
requireth
Is to feel your
need of Him:
This He gives you,
this He gives you,
'Tis the Spirit's
rising beam.
4. Come, ye weary,
heavy laden,
Lost and ruined by
the fall;
If you tarry till
you're better,
You will never come
at all:
Not the righteous,
not the righteous,
Sinners Jesus came
to call.
5. Agonizing in the
garden,
Your Redeemer
prostrate lies;
On the bloody tree
behold Him!
Hear Him cry,
before He dies,
"It is
finished!'' "It is finished!''
Sinner, will not
this suffice?
6. Lo! th'
incarnate God, ascended,,
Pleads the merit of
His blood;
Venture on Him,
venture wholly;
Let no other trust
intrude:
None but Jesus,
none but Jesus,
Can do helpless sinners good.
