The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#112a

112a. 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.

Refrain:
Turn to the Lord, and seek salvation,
Sound the praise of his dear name;
Glory, honor, 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,
Every grace that brings you nigh. [Refrain]

3 Let no conscience make you linger,
Nor of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness he requireth
Is to feel your need of him. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]

5 Agonizing in the garden,
Lo! your Maker prostrate lies!
On the bloody tree behold him,
Hear him cry before he died. [Refrain]
