Come Ye Sinners Poor and Needy
Joseph Hart, 1759, public domain
VERSE 1
Come, ye 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,
Oh, there are ten thousand charms.
VERSE 2
Come, ye thirsty; come and welcome,
God’s free bounty glorify,
True belief and true repentance,
Every grace that brings you nigh.
VERSE 3
Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
Bruised an broken, full of sin,
If you tarry till you’re better,
You may never enter in.
VERSE 4
View Him prostrate in the garden,
On the ground your Maker lies,
On the bloody tree behold Him,
Sinner will not this suffice?
VERSE 5
Lo! The incarnate God ascended
Pleads the merit of His blood;
Venture on Him, venture wholly;
Let no other trust intrude.
