E94. Come, Ye Sinners

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,
Ev'ry 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 not this suffice?
"It is finished!" "It is finished!"
Sinner, will not this suffice?

5 Lo! th'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.
