Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched

lyricist: Joseph Hart
Composer: William Letton Viner

Come

ye sinners

poor and wretched

Weak and wounded

sick and sore;

Jesus ready waits to save you

Full of pity

love and pow’r:

He is able

He is able

He is willing

doubt no more.

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.

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.

Come

ye weary

heavy laden

Lost and ruined 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.

Agonizing in the garden

Your Redeemer prostrate lies;

On the bloody tree behold Him!

Hear Him cry

before He dies

“It is finished!” “It is finished!”

Sinner

will not this suffice?

Lo! th’ incarnate God

ascended

Pleads 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.
