765. Come, You Sinners

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,
O 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]
