The Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#399

399. Come, Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy

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 able,
He is willing: doubt no more.
He is able, He is able,
He is willing: doubt no more.

2 Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome,
God’s free bounty glorify;
True belief, and true repentance,
Every grace that brings us nigh.
Without money, Without money,
Come to Jesus Christ, and buy.
Without money, 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; This He gives you;
'Tis His Spirit's rising beam.
This He gives you; This He gives you;
'Tis His Spirit's rising beam.

4 Agonizing in the garden,
Lo! your Maker prostrate lies;
On the blood-stained tree behold Him;
Hear Him cry, before He dies.
"It is finished! It is finished!"
Sinner, will this not suffice?
"It is finished! It is finished!"
Sinner, will this not suffice?

5 Lo! the incarnate God, ascended,
Pleads the merit of His blood:
Venture to Him, venture wholly,
Let no other trust intrude;
None but Jesus, None but Jesus
Can do helpless sinners good.
None but Jesus, None but Jesus
Can do helpless sinners good.

Amen.
