96. Turn to the Lord

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.

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 need, come, and welcome,
God’s free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
Every grace that brings you nigh. [Refrain]

3 Let not 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]
