The Golden Sheaf ‎#6

6. Turn to the Lord

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.

Chorus:
Turn to the Lord, and seek salvation;
Sound the praise of his dear name;
Glory, honor, adoration,
Christ, the Lord, will come to reign.

2 Now, ye needy, come and welcome,
God's free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance--
Every grace that brings you nigh. [Chorus]

3 Let not conscience make you linger,
Nor of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness he requireth
Is to feel your need of him. [Chorus]

4 Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
Bruised and mangled by the fall,
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all. [Chorus]

5 Agonizing in the garden,
Lo! your Saviour prostrate lies;
On the bloody tree behold him;
Hear him cry before he dies. [Chorus]
