Author: Joseph Hart, 1712-1768 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #498 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched,
weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
full of pity, joined with power:
he is able, he is able,
he is willing; doubt no more.
2 Come, ye needy, come, and welcome;
God's free bounty glorify;
true belief and true repentance,
every grace that brings us nigh,
without money, without money,
come to Jesus Christ and buy.
3 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden,
bruised and broken by the fall;
if you tarry till you’re better,
you will never come at all;
not the righteous, not the righteous
— sinners Jesus came to call.
4 Let not conscience make you linger,
nor of fitness fondly dream;
all the fitness he requireth
is to feel your need of him:
this he gives you, this he gives you;
'tis the Spirit's rising beam.
5 Lo! The incarnate God, ascended,
leads the merit of his blood;
venture on him, venture wholly;
let no other trust intrude:
none but Jesus, none but Jesus
can do helpless sinners good. Topics: General Hymns Repentance and Forgiveness Languages: English Tune Title: DISMISSAL
