Lu 15:2 ...This Man (Jesus) receives sinners...
Come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Come, ye weary, heavy-laden,
Lost and ruined by the fall;
If you tarry till you’re better,
You will never come at all.
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.
Pleads the merit of His blood:
Venture on Him, venture wholly,
Let no other trust intrude.
Let not conscience make you linger,
Not of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness He requireth
Is to feel your need of Him.
Not of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness He requireth
Is to feel your need of Him.
Excerpts from the hymn "Come Ye Sinners, Poor And Needy"
