Gospel · Hymn 425 · 8.7.8.7.11
Come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
“Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely 22:17
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;
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.
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,
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.
5.
Lo! The 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.
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
Amen
