115. Come, ye sinners, heavy laden

1 Come, ye sinners, heavy laden,
Lost and ruined by the fall;
If you wait till you are better,
You will never come at all.

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

2 Let no sense of guilt prevent you,
Nor of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness he requireth,
Is to feel your need of Him.
