MP #354
Come, Ye Sinners, Poor and Wretched by Joseph Hart.
VERSE 1
Come, ye sin-ners, poor and wretch-ed,
Weak and wound-ed, sick and sore.
Je-sus read-y stands to save you,
Full of pit-y joined with pow'r.
He is a-ble, he is a-ble;
He is will-ing: doubt no more.
He is a-ble, he is a-ble;
He is will-ing: doubt no more.
VERSE 2
Ho! ye need-y; come, and wel-come;
God's free boun-ty glo-ri-fy.
True be-lief, and true re-pent-ance,
Ev-'ry grace that brings us nigh,
With-out mon-ey, with-out mon-ey,
Come to Je-sus Christ, and buy.
With-out mon-ey, with-out mon-ey,
Come to Je-sus Christ, and buy.
VERSE 3
Let not con-science make you lin-ger;
Nor of fit-ness fond-ly dream.
All the fit-ness he re-quir-eth
Is, to feel your need of him:
This he gives you, this he gives you;
'Tis the Spir-it's ris-ing beam.
This he gives you, this he gives you;
'Tis the Spir-it's ris-ing beam.
VERSE 4
Come, ye wea-ry, heav-y lad-en,
Bruised and man-gled by the fall;
If you tar-ry, till you're bet-ter,
You will nev-er come at all.
Not the right-eous, not the right-eous;
Sin-ners Je-sus came to call.
Not the right-eous, not the right-eous;
Sin-ners Je-sus came to call.
VERSE 5
View him grov-'ling in the gar-den;
Lo! your Ma-ker pros-trate lies.
On the blood-y tree be-hold him:
Hear him cry, be-fore he dies;
It is fin-ished; it is fin-ished.
Sin-ner will this not suf-fice?
It is fin-ished; it is fin-ished.
Sin-ner will this not suf-fice?
VERSE 6
Lo! th'in-car-nate God, as-cend-ed,
Pleads the mer-it of his blood.
Ven-ture on him, ven-ture whol-ly;
Let no oth-er trust in-trude.
None but Je-sus, none but Je-sus,
Can do help-less sin-ners good.
None but Je-sus, none but Je-sus,
Can do help-less sin-ners good.
VERSE 7
Saints and an-gels, joined in con-cert,
Sing the prais-es of the Lamb;
While the bliss-ful seats of heav-en
Sweet-ly ech-o with his name.
Al-le-lu-ia! Al-le-lu-ia!
Sin-ners here may sing the same.
Al-le-lu-ia! Al-le-lu-ia!
Sin-ners here may sing the same.
("Alleluia" is in the King James Bible but not "Hallelujah". The lyrics have been changed to "Alleluia".)
