This one may be coming soon to an Overflow service near you!
Come, Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy by Joseph Hart
Come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity, love and power.Chorus
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.Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome,
God’s free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
Every grace that brings you nigh.Chorus
Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
Lost and ruined by the fall;
If you tarry till you’re better,
You will never come at all.Chorus
View Him prostrate in the garden;
On the ground your Maker lies.
On the bloody tree behold Him;
Sinner, will this not suffice?Chorus
Lo! th’ incarnate God ascended,
Pleads the merit of His blood:
Venture on Him, venture wholly,
Let no other trust intrude.Chorus
Let not conscience make you linger,
Not of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness He requireth
Is to feel your need of Him.Chorus
This is a great hymn, and I am looking forward to hearing it sunday night.
Here’s my entry into the “Hymns I’m angry…” category. Does anyone know the melody?

This one, I learned in HS… we did an odd version of it in a choir song, that was in a medley with other songs.
