Lyrics
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.
|:He is able;:|
|:He is willing: doubt no more.
2. Now ye needy, come, and welcome,
God’s free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
Every grace that brings you nigh.
|:Without money,:|
|:Come to Jesus Christ and buy.:|
3. Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
Bruised and ruined by the fall;
If you tarry till you’re better,
You will never come at all.
|:Not the righteous-:|
|:Sinners, Jesus came to call.:|
4. View Him prostrate in the garden;
On the ground your Maker lies.
On the bloody tree behold Him;
Hear Him cry before He dies,
|:It is finished!:|
|:Sinner, will this not suffice?:|
5. Lo! th’incarnate God ascended,
Pleads the merit of His blood:
Venture on Him, venture wholly,
Let no other trust intrude.
|:None but Jesus:|
|:Can do helpless sinners good.:|
6. Let not conscience make you linger,
Not of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness He requireth
Is to feel your need of Him.
|:This he gives you;:|
'|:Tis the Spirit's rising beam.:|
7. Saints and angels, joined in concert,
Sing the praises of the Lamb;
While the blissful seats of heaven
Sweetly echo with his name.
|:Hallelujah!:|
|:Sinners here may sing the same.:|
8. View him grov'ling in the garden;
Lo! your Maker prostrate lies!
On the bloody tree behold him;
Hear him cry, before he dies,
|: It is finish’d : :|
|: Sinner will not this suffice? :|
