Come you sinners

Lyrics: Joseph Hart. Alt. & Mod. R.Mc.
Music: William Walker (Traditional American Melody?)




Come, you sinners, poor and needy,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity, love, and pow'r.

Refrain:
I will arise and go to Jesus,
He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O there are ten thousand charms.

Come, you thirsty, come, and welcome,
God's free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
Ev'ry grace he will supply.

Come, you weary, heavy-laden,
Lost and ruined by the fall;
If you wait until you're better,
You will never come at all.

See Him prostrate in the garden;
On the ground your Maker lies.
On the bloody tree behold Him;
Sinner, will this not suffice?

Look! th’incarnate God ascended,
Pleads the merit of His blood:
Trust in Jesus, trust Him wholly,
Let no other hope intrude.

Let not pride keep you from Jesus,
Seeking goodness of your own;
All the goodness He requires
Is to feel your need of Him.

Original Words
Lyrics: Joseph Hart.


Come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity, love and power.

Refrain:
I will arise and go to Jesus,
He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O there are ten thousand charms.

Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome,
God’s free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
Every grace that brings you nigh.

Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
Lost and ruined by the fall;
If you tarry till you’re better,
You will never come at all.

View Him prostrate in the garden;
On the ground your Maker lies.
On the bloody tree behold Him;
Sinner, will this not suffice?

Lo! th’incarnate God ascended,
Pleads the merit of His blood:
Venture on Him, venture wholly,
Let no other trust intrude.

Let not conscience make you linger,
Not of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness He requireth
Is to feel your need of Him.
