Author: J. Hart Hymnal: The Golden Sheaf #6 (1902) First Line: Come, ye sinners, poor and needy Refrain First Line: Turn to the Lord, and seek salvation Lyrics: 1 Come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity, love, and power.
Chorus:
Turn to the Lord, and seek salvation;
Sound the praise of his dear name;
Glory, honor, adoration,
Christ, the Lord, will come to reign.
2 Now, ye needy, come and welcome,
God's free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance--
Every grace that brings you nigh. [Chorus]
3 Let not conscience make you linger,
Nor of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness he requireth
Is to feel your need of him. [Chorus]
4 Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
Bruised and mangled by the fall,
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all. [Chorus]
5 Agonizing in the garden,
Lo! your Saviour prostrate lies;
On the bloody tree behold him;
Hear him cry before he dies. [Chorus]
Tune Title: [Come, ye sinners, poor and needy]
Turn to the Lord
