Triumphant Songs No.2 ‎#21

21. O Sinner, Come!

1 Just as thou art, without one trace
Of love, or joy, or inward grace,
Or meetness for the heav’nly place,
O guilty sinner, come.

O come, O come, O come, sinner, come,
O come, O come, O come, sinner, come.
‘Tis mercy’s voice that sweetly calls,
O guilty sinner, come.

2 Burdened with guilt, wouldst thou be blest?
Trust not the world, it gives no rest;
Christ brings relief to hearts oppress’d;
O weary sinner, come.

O come, O come, O come, sinner, come,
O come, O come, O come, sinner, come.
‘Tis mercy’s voice that sweetly calls,
O weary, sinner, come.

3 Come, leave thy burden at the cross,
Count all thy gains but worthless dross:
His grace o’er pays all earthly loss;
O needy sinner, come.

O come, O come, O come, sinner, come,
O come, O come, O come, sinner, come.
‘Tis mercy’s voice that sweetly calls,
O needy sinner, come.

4 Come, hither bring thy boding fears,
Thy aching heart, thy burning tears,
‘Tis mercy’s voice salutes thine ears;
O trembling sinner, come!

O come, O come, O come, sinner, come,
O come, O come, O come, sinner, come.
‘Tis mercy’s voice that sweetly calls,
O trembling sinner, come.
