II. 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 pow'r;
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,
Every grace that brings you nigh;
Without money,
Come to Jesus Christ and buy.

3 Let not conscience make you linger,
Nor of fitness fondly dream,
All the fitness he requires,
Is to feel you need of him;
This he gives you,
'Tis the Spirit's glimm'ring beam.

4 Agonizing in the garden,
Lo! your Maker prostrate lies!
On the bloody tree behold him!
Hear him cry before he dies,
"It is finish'd!"
Sinner, will not this suffice?

5 Lo! th' incarnate God ascending,
Pleads the merit of his blood;
Venture on him, venture freely,
Let no other trust intrude;
None but Jesus
Can do helpless sinners good.

6 Saints and angels join'd in concert,
Sing the praises of the Lamb;
While the blissful seats of heaven,
Sweetly echo with his mame;
Hallelujah!
Sinners here may do the same.
