Come Ye Sinners Poor and Needy

Come all sinners poor and needy, weak and wounded sick and sore
Jesus ready, stands to save you, full of pity, love and power

Come all thirsty come and welcome, God’s free bounty glorify
True belief and true repentance, every grace that brings you nigh

Let not conscience make you linger, nor of fitness fondly dream
All the fitness He requires, is to feel your need of Him

I will rise and go to Jesus, he will embrace me in his arms
In the arms of my dear savior, oh there are ten thousand charms

-Joseph Hart, 1759

You should check out Fernando Ortega's version singing this hymn; it's awesome - on the "Storm" album.
