Hymnal: JW1878 #207 (1879) First Line: Come, ye sinners, poor and needy 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.
Chorus:
"Whosoever," saith the Spirit,
With the Father and the Son;
"Whosoever," sinner, hear it,
"Whosoever will may come."
2 Now, ye needy, come and welcome,
God's free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
Every grace that brings you nigh. [Chorus]
3 Let not conscience make you linger,
Nor of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness he requireth
Is to feel your need of him. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
5 Lo! th' incarnate God, ascending,
Pleads the merit of his blood;
Venture on him,--venture freely;
Let no other trust intrude. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: WHOSOEVER WILL MAY COME
"Whosoever," saith the Spirit
