THE INVITATION.

COME, ye sinners, poor and wretched, Weak and wounded, sick and sore; Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of mercy, joined with power. He is able, He is willing; doubt no more.
O ye needy, come and welcome, God's free bounty glorify; True belief, and true repentance, Every grace that brings us nigh, Without money, 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, 'Tis the Spirit's rising beam.
Come ye weary, heavy laden, Lost and ruined by the fall; If you tarry till you're better, You will never come at all. Not the righteous, Sinners, Jesus came to call.
View him prostrate in the garden: On the ground your Saviour lies: On the bloody tree behold him; Hear him cry before he dies, "It is finished!" Sinner, will not this suffice?
Lo the dear Saviour has ascended, Pleads the merits of his blood; Venture on him, venture wholly, Let no other trust intrude; None but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good.
