Tune: | RESTORATION |
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.
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.
2 Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome,
God’s free bounty glorify;
true belief and true repentance,
every grace that brings you nigh. [Refrain]
3 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden,
lost and ruined by the fall;
if you tarry till you’re better,
you will never come at all. [Refrain]
4 Let not conscience make you linger,
nor of fitness fondly dream;
all the fitness He requireth
is to feel your need of Him. [Refrain]
