Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity, love, and pow'r.
Chorus:
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, ye thirsty, come, and welcome,
God's free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
Ev'ry grace that brings you nigh. [Chorus]
3 Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
Lost and ruined by the fall;
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all. [Chorus]
4 Let not conscience make you linger,
Nor of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness He requireth
Is to feel your need of Him. [Chorus] Topics: Acceptance; Confession, Repentance, Humility, Conviction Used With Tune: RESTORATION
Come, Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy
