Come, Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy

J. Hart (1759) • English

Primary Scripture: Isaiah 45:22

Verse 1

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.

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

Let not conscience make you linger, nor of fitness fondly dream; all the fitness He requireth is to feel your need of Him.

Verse 4

Come, ye weary, heavy laden, lost and ruined by the fall; if you tarry till you're better, you will never come at all.

Verse 5

Lo! th'incarnate God, ascended, pleads the merit of His blood; venture on Him, venture wholly; let no other trust intrude.
