"Come ye sinners, poor and needy"

"I will arise and go to Jesus (Sounds like reign)

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


I will arise and go to Jesus:

"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.

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

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

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

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

Author: J Hart (1759)
