The Golden Sheaf ‎#172

172. Come, ye sinners, poor and needy

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 Now, ye needy, come and welcome,
God's free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
Ev'ry grace that brings you nigh,
Without money, Without money,
Come to Jesus Christ and buy.

3 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 give you; This he give you;
'Tis the Spirit's glimm'ring beam.

4 Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
Brushed and mangled 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.
