Come, Poor Sinner

Author: C. Z. Lindley Hymnal: Timeless Truths #818 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: O poor sinner, come to Jesus Refrain First Line: Gently now the Spirit’s whisp’ring Lyrics: 1 O poor sinner, come to Jesus, Lay on Him your weary soul; He will give you peace and pardon, Purify and make you whole. Refrain: Gently now the Spirit’s whisp’ring, Wooing, calling you today; Don’t you hear Him softly saying, Urging, pleading, “Don’t delay”? 2 O poor sinner, come to Jesus, Now He speaks so tenderly, “Come to Me, for you I’ve suffered, Bled and died on Calvary.” [Refrain] 3 O poor sinner, come to Jesus, Lay your heart at His dear feet; He will fold you in His bosom, And will make your rest complete. [Refrain] 4 O poor sinner, come to Jesus, Time is fleeting swiftly by; Still the loving Savior’s calling, Come, oh, come, why will you die? [Refrain] 5 O poor sinner, come to Jesus, Hasten, come, before too late; Lest the Spirit cease His wooing; Sad, then, sad will be your fate. [Refrain] Topics: Invitation Scripture: Matthew 9:13 Tune Title: [O poor sinner, come to Jesus]
