Come Ye Sinners

Come, ye sinners, poor and needy
Weak and wounded, sick and sore
Jesus, ready stands to save you
Full of pity, love and power

Come, ye thirsty, come and welcome
God's free bounty glorify
True belief and true repentance
Every grace that brings you nigh

Come, ye weary, heavy laden
Lost and ruined by the fall
If you tarry 'til you're better
You will never come at all
You will never come at all

On the bloody cross behold Him
Sinner, will this not suffice?
Lo, the Incarnate God ascended
Pleads His perfect sacrifice

In the cross of Christ I glory
There for all was grace made free
None deserving, yet receiving
Life through death at Calvary
