1 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:]
I will arise and go to Jesus; 
he will embrace me in his arms; 
in the arms of my dear Savior, 
O, there are then thousand charms. 
  
2 Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome,
God's free bounty glorify;
true belief and true repentance,
every grace that brings you nigh. (Refrain)

3 Let not conscience make you linger, 
nor of fitness fondly dream; 
all the fitness he requireth
is to feel your need of him. (Refrain)
 
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. (Refrain)
