Text: | Come, ye sinners, poor and needy |
Tune: | RESIGNATION |
Composer: | Erik. K. Hoff, b. 1832 |
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;
He is able,
He is able,
He is willing: doubt no more.
2 Let not conscience make you linger,
Nor of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness He requireth
Is to feel your need of Him;
This he gives you;
This he gives you;
'Tis the Spirit's rising beam.
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.
Not the righteous,
Not the righteous,
Sinners, Jesus came to call.
4 View Him prostrate in the garden,
Lo! your Maker prostrate lies;
On the bloody tree behold Him;
Hear Him cry before He dies:
"It is finished!"
"It is finished!"
Sinner, will not this suffice?
5 Lo! th' incarnate God ascended
Pleads the merit of His blood;
Venture on Him, venture wholly,
Let no other trust intrude:
None but Jesus,
None but Jesus,
Can do helpless sinners good.
