Come, ye sinners, poor and needy

We sang this hymn in Church today, and what a gospel feast it is.  Meditate on the words of this beautiful, Christ centered hymn, this is food for the hungry and water for the thirsty.  Soli Deo Gloria!
 

Come, Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy
Author:Joseph Hart, 1712-1768
Musician:William Owen, 1814-1893
 
 
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;
He is able He is able, He is able
He is willing; doubt no more!
He is willing; doubt no more!

Come, ye needy, come and welcome;
God's free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
Ev'ry grace that brings you nigh,
Without money Without money, Without money,
Come to Jesus Christ and buy!
Come to Jesus Christ and buy!

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 glimm'ring beam!
'Tis the Spirit's glimm'ring beam!

Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
Bruised and broken by the fall;
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all:
Not the righteous Not the righteous Not the righteous
Sinners Jesus came to call;
Sinners Jesus came to call.

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.
Can do helpless sinners good.

Bible passage:
Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Isaiah 55:1
