Come ye sinners, poor and needy

Appears in 1,480 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, ye sinners, poor and needy, Weak and wounded, sick and sore; Jesus ready stands to save you, And His heart with love runs o'er; He is able, He is willing: doubt no more. 2 Come, ye needy, come and welcome, God's free bounty glorify; True belief and true repentance, Every grace that brings us nigh, Without money, Come to Jesus Christ and buy. 3 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden, Lost and ruin'd by the fall, If you tarry till you're better, You will never come at all: Not the righteous, Sinners Jesus came to call. 4 Agonizing in the garden, Your redeemer prostrate lies; On the bloody tree behold Him! Hear Him cry before He dies, "It is finish'd!" Sinners, will not this suffice? 5 Lo! th' incarnate God ascending, Pleads the merit of His blood; Venture on Him--venture wholly, Let no other trust intrude: None but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good. 6 Saints and angels, join'd in concert, Sing the praises of the Lamb; While the blissful courts of heaven Sweetly echo with His Name. Hallelujah! Sinners here may sing the same.
