766. I Will Arise

1 Come, you sinners, poor and needy,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore,
Jesus, Son of God, will 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.

2 Come, you thirsty, come, and welcome,
God's free bounty glorify:
True belief and true repentance,
Ev'ry grace that brings you nigh. [Refrain]

3 Come, you weary, heavy laden,
Lost and ruined by the fall;
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all. [Refrain]
