Lyics

POOR sinners, come, obey his voice,

He'll make your inmost souls rejoice,

Attend the gospel's gladd'ning sound,

For now his Spirit may be found.



Behold him standing at the door,

Inviting kindly all the poor:

Mercy and love in him abound,

And oh! his Spirit may be found.



Come with your guilty burdens all,

Low at his footstool humbly fall;

Though foes and fears your hearts surround,

Yet, oh! his Spirit may be found.



And when you taste his pard'ning love,

And all his tender mercies prove,

Entreat poor sinners all around,

And say, his Spirit may be found.
