Sacred Songs & Solos

Come, and welcome, to Jesus Christ 1 Come, ye Sinners, poor and wretched, Weak and wounded, sick and sore. Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of Pity join’d with Pow’r. He is able, he is able, he is able; He is willing: doubt no more. 2 Ho! ye needy; come, and welcome; God’s free Bounty glorify. True Belief, and true Repentance, Ev’ry Grace that brings us nigh, Without Money, without Money, without Money, Come to Jesus Christ, and buy. 3 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. 4 Come ye weary, heave laden, Bruis’d and mangled by the Fall; If you tarry, till you’re better, You wil never come at all. Not the Righteous, not the Righteous, not the Righteous; Sinners Jesus came to call. 5 View him grov’ling in the Garden; Lo! your Maker prostrate lies. On the bloody Tree behold him: Hear him cry, before he dies; It is finish’d; it is finish’d; it is finish’d. Sinner, will not this suffice? 6 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. 7 Saints and Angels join’d in Concert, Sing the Praises of the Lamb; While the blissful Seats of Heaven Sweetly echo with his Name. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Halleluja! Sinners here may sing the same.

Come, ye Sinners 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: He is able, He is able; He is willing: doubt no more. 2 Now, ye needy, come and welcome: God’s free bounty glorify; True belief and true repentance, — Every grace that brings you nigh, — Without money, Without money, Come to Jesus Christ and buy. 3 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. — ’Tis the Spirit’s rising beam. 4 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden, Bruised and ruined by the Fall; If you tarry till you’re better, You will never come at all; Not the righteous, Not the righteous, — Sinners, Jesus came to call. 5 View Him prostrate in the garden, On the ground your Maker lies! On the bloody tree behold Him, Hear Him cry before He dies, ‟It is finish’d!” ‟It is finish’d!” Sinner, will not this suffice? 6 Lo, th’ incarnate God, ascended, Pleads the merit of His blood; Venture on Him, venture wholly, Let no other trust intrude: None but Jesus, Non but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good.
