238. Welcome, Welcome

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:
Turn to the Lord and seek salvation,
Sound the praise of Jesu's name;
Glory honour and salvation,
Christ the Lord is come to reign.

2 Now ye needy, come and welcome,
God's free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
Ev'ry 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 you need of him; [Chorus]

4 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden,
Bruis'd 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 Maker prostrate lies!
On the bloody tree behold him!
Hear him cry before he dies, [Chorus]

6 Lo! th' incarnate God ascending,
Pleads the merit of His blood;
Venture on him, venture freely,
Let no other trust intrude. [Chorus]

7 Saints and angels, join'd in concert,
Sing the praises of the Lamb,
While the blissful seats of heav'n,
Sweetly echo with his name, [Chorus]
