[Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched]
1
Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched,Weak and wounded, sick and sore,
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity, love, and pow'r.
He is able, He is able,
He is willing: Doubt no more.
2
Ho! ye thirsty, 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.
2
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;
'Tis the Spirit's rising beam.
4
Come, ye weary, heavy laden,Lost and ruin'd by the fall;
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all:
Not the righteous,
Sinners Jesus came to call.
5
View him prostrate in the garden,On the ground your Saviour lies
On the bloody tree behold him
Hear him cry before he dies—
“It is finish'd!”
Sinners, will not this suffice?
6
Lo! th' incarnate God ascending,Pleads the merit of his blood;
Venture on him, venture wholly,
Let no other trust intrude:
None but Jesus
Can do helpless sinners good.
7
Saints and angels, join'd 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
