COME, YE SINNERS, POOR AND NEEDY
Words: Joseph Hart
Music: "Beach Spring"
from Sacred Harp, by Benjamin F. White, 1844
Come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity, love and power.
Refrain: He is able, He is able
He is willing, doubt no more
He is able, He is able
He is willing, doubt no mroe
Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome,
God's free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
Every grace that brings you nigh.
He will save you, He will save you
'Tis the gospel's constant theme
He will save you, He will save you
'Tis the gospel's constant theme
Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
Lost and ruined by the fall;
If you tarry till you’re better,
You will never come at all.
He is able, He is able
He is willing, doubt no more
He is able, He is able
He iw willing, doubt no mroe
View Him prostrate in the garden;
On the ground your Maker lies.
On the bloody tree behold Him;
Sinner, will this not suffice?
He will save you, He will save you
'Tis the gospel's constant theme
He will save you, He will save you
'Tis the gospel's constant theme
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
None but Jesus, none but Jesus
Can do helpless sinners good
Let not conscience make you linger,
Not of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness He requireth
Is to feel your need of Him.
He will save you, He will save you
'Tis the gospel's constant theme
He will save you, He will save you
'Tis the gospel's constant theme
