The New Christian Hymnal ‎#195

195. Come, Ye Sinners

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:
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 repentence,
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 gives you,
This He gives you;
'Tis the Spirit's glimm'ring beam.

4. Come, ye weary, heavy-laden,
Bruised and mangled by the fall;
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all;
Not the righteous,
Not the righeous,
--Sinners Jesus came to call.
