Hymns are AWESOME!

The older I get the more I seem to fall in love with Hymns. I think about all the generations of Christians who have worshipped God by singing these songs. And lyrically---Brilliant! Here is one that I have recently re-discovered. It is "Come Ye Sinners". It was written in 1759 by Joseph Hart. The part that I've been really stuck by is the verse:
"Come ye weary, heavy-laden
Lost and ruined by the fall
If you tarry until you're better
You will never come at all"
It reminds me that for hundreds of years we have tried to get our acts together before turning or returning to God. And that we aren't capable of making our lives better or complete without Him.

There are a few more verses than what I'll post on here. The verses on here are from the version of the song I have by Todd Agnew. Maybe I should do a Hymn blog every week...could be interesting.

Anyway, Enjoy! Happy Wednesday!

-Come Ye Sinners-
Come ye sinners, poor and needy
Weak and wounded, sick and sore
Jesus ready stands to save you
Full of pity, love, and power

Come ye thirsty, come and welcome
God's free bounty glorify
True belief and true repentance
Every grace that brings you nigh

I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in His arms
In the arms of my dear Savior
Oh, there are ten thousand charms

Come ye weary, heavy-laden
Lost and ruined by the fall
If you tarry until 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
Oh, there are ten thousand charms

I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in His arms
In the arms of my dear Savior
Oh, there are ten thousand charms

I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in His arms
In the arms of my dear Savior
Oh, there are ten thousand charms
Oh, there are ten thousand charms
Oh, there are ten thousand charms
