| 
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 | 
View Him prostrate in the garden; 
On the ground your Maker lies. 
On the bloody tree behold Him; 
Sinner, will this not suffice? 
Refrain | 
| 
I will arise and go to Jesus, He will embrace me in His arms; In the arms of my dear Savior, O there are ten thousand charms. | 
Lo! th’incarnate God ascended, 
Pleads the merit of His blood: 
Venture on Him, venture wholly, 
Let no other trust intrude. 
Refrain | 
| 
Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome, 
God’s free bounty glorify; 
True belief and true repentance, 
Every grace that brings you nigh. 
Refrain | 
Let not conscience make you linger, 
Not of fitness fondly dream; 
All the fitness He requireth 
Is to feel your need of Him. 
Refrain | 
| 
Come, ye weary, heavy laden, 
Lost and ruined by the fall; 
If you tarry till you’re better, 
You will never come at all. 
Refrain | |
"O’er all those wide extended plains / Shines one eternal day;
                   "There God the Son forever reigns / And scatters night away."
