Lyics

COME, poor sinners, seek the Lord,

Meditate, obey his word;

Seek salvation through this blood;

Go with us-the way is good.



Come you aged, come you young;

Every nation learn the song;

Sound the Saviour's name abroad,

Go with us-the way is good.



Doubting souls, dismiss your fears,

Mourning souls dry up your tears,

Christ for you has shed his blood;

Go with us-the way is good.



Burden'd souls oppressed with grief,

Jesus freely grants relief;

He'll remove your heavy load;

Go with us-the way is good.



Needy sinners doubt no more,

Jesus hath an ample store;

Richest wine and choicest food,

Go with us-the way is good.



You who see your Saviour's love,

Now your faithfulness approve;

Follow him, obey his word,

Imitate this glorious Lord.



Saints begin the heavenly song,

Join in concert every tongue;

Walk with joy the heavenly road-

Go with us-the way is good.
