Author: Joseph Hart Hymnal: OSSN1908 #175 (1908) First Line: Come, ye sinners, poor and needy Refrain First Line: Why don’t you come to Jesus Lyrics: 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:
Why don’t you come to Jesus.
He’s waiting to receive you,
Why don’t you come to Jesus and be saved?
Why don’t you come to Jesus.
He’s waiting to receive you,
Why don’t you come to Jesus and be saved?
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 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]
5 Agonizing in the garden,
Your Redeemer prostrate fall;
On the bloody tree behold Him!
Hear him cry before he dies. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Come, ye sinners, poor and needy]
Why Don’t You Come to Jesus?
