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;Come. ye thirsty, come and welcome,
He will embrace me in his arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O there are ten thousand charms
God's free bounty glorify
True belief and true repentance,
Every grace that brings You nigh
Come, ye weary, heavy-laden,
Bruised 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,
Hear Him cry before He dies
Lo, the incarnate God, ascended,
Pleads the merit of His blood:
Venture on Him, venture wholly,
Let no other trust intrude
Words: Joseph Hart (1712-1768)
Music: RESTORATION 8.7.8.7 + Refrain (from the Sacred Harp)
