Hymn 118
I Will Arise And Go To Jesus
RESTORATION, 8.7.8.7.
Come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to help you,
Full of pity, love and pow'r.
Now, ye needy, come and welcome;
God's free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
Ev'ry grace that brings you nigh.
Let not conscience make you linger,
Nor of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness He requireth
Is to feel your need of Him.
Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
Bruised and mangled by the fall;
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all.
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!
