Come, Ye Sinners

Words: Caleb Taylor, Joseph Hart · Music: Southern Harmony, 1835, O. F. Pugh · 1759

Verse 1
Come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
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,
oh, there are ten thousand charms.

Verse 2
Come, ye thirsty, come and welcome,
God's free bounty glorify;
true belief and true repentance,
ev'ry grace that brings you nigh.

Verse 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.

Verse 4
Let not conscience make you linger,
nor of fitness fondly dream;
all the fitness he requireth
is to feel your need of him.
