Come and See

Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: John 1:39

Verse 1

Jesus! dear name, how sweet it sounds! Replete with balm for all our wounds: His Word declares His grace is free, Come, needy sinner, Come and see.

Verse 2

He left the shining courts on high, Came to our world to bleed and die; Jesus the Lord hung on a tree, Come, thoughtless sinner, Come and see.

Verse 3

Your sins did pierce His bleeding heart, Till death had done its dreadful part; His boundless love extends to thee, Come, trembling sinner, Come and see.

Verse 4

His blood can cleanse the foulest stain, Can make the vilest sinner clean; This fountain open stands for thee, Come, guilty sinner, Come and see.
