Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →Written by Joseph Hart in 1759, this evangelical hymn is a warm invitation to sinners to come to Christ for salvation, emphasizing Jesus's readiness to receive the broken and weary. The refrain 'I will arise and go to Jesus' echoes the parable of the Prodigal Son.
Verse 1
Come, ye sinners,
poor and needy,
weak and wounded,
sick and sore;
Jesus ready
stands to save you,
full of pity,
love, and power.
Refrain
I will arise and
go to Jesus;
he will embrace me
with his arms;
in the arms
of my dear Savior,
O there are
ten thousand charms.
Verse 2
Come, ye thirsty,
come, and welcome,
God’s free bounty glorify;
true belief and
true repentance,
every grace that
brings you nigh.
Refrain
I will arise and
go to Jesus;
he will embrace me
with his arms;
in the arms
of my dear Savior,
O there are
ten thousand charms.
Verse 3
Come ye weary,
heavy laden,
lost and ruined
by the fall;
if you tarry
till you’re better,
you will never
come at all.
Refrain
I will arise and
go to Jesus;
he will embrace me
with his arms;
in the arms
of my dear Savior,
O there are
ten thousand charms.
Verse 4
Let not conscience
make you linger,
nor of fitness
fondly dream;
all the fitness
he requireth
is to feel your
need of him.
Refrain
I will arise and
go to Jesus;
he will embrace me
with his arms;
in the arms
of my dear Savior,
O there are
ten thousand charms.
