Come, Ye Sinners, Poor And Needy

Words by Joseph Hart


Come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
full of pity, love, and pow'r.
He is able, He is able, He is able,
He is willing, doubt no more;
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 you nigh.
Without money, without money, without money,
come to Jesus Christ and buy;
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, this He gives you,
'tis the Spirit's glimmer'ng beam,
'tis the Spirit's glimmer'ng beam.

Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
lost and ruined by the fall;
If you wait until you're better,
you will never come at all.
Not the righteous, not the righteous, not the righteous;
Sinners Jesus came to call;
Sinners Jesus came to call.

View Him prostrate in the garden;
On the ground your Maker lies.
On the awful tree behold Him;
Hear Him cry before He dies!
It is finished! It is finished! It is finished!
Sinners, will not this suffice?
Sinners, 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, none but Jesus,
can do helpless sinners good;
Can do helpless sinners good.
