1 Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched, Weak and wounded, sick and sore; Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of pity joined with pow'r: He is able, He is able, He is able, He is willing; doubt no more; He is willing; doubt no more. 2 Come, ye needy, come and welcome, God's free bounty glorify; True belief and true repentance, Ev'ry grace that brings you nigh, Without money, Without money, Without money, Come to Jesus Christ and buy; Come to Jesus Christ and buy. 3 Come, ye weary, heavy laden, Bruised and broken by the fall; If you tarry till 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. 4 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 rising beam; 'Tis the Spirit's rising beam. 5 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.
