About this Hymn
This hymn beckons the sinner to the foot of the cross, where we mourn, rejoice, and wonder. It highlights the profundity and gravity of this scene, where Jesus suffers in our place so that we might know his salvation. "Come, O Sinner" is a holy meditation, an invitation to stand in awe at the cross of Jesus. – Jordan Kauflin
Lyrics
Verse 1
Come, O sinner, come and see Christ the Lord upon a tree. See the crown of thorns adorn the King who labors to breathe in agony. Come, O sinner, come and see what our God became to set us free.
Chorus
Ever faithful, ever true, keep my heart to only you. Since I cannot part from thee, Sov'reign Ruler ever be.
Verse 2
Come, O sinner, come and mourn, for he calls your sin his own. Do you feel the weight of justice served? He suffers the wrath that you deserve. Come, O sinner, come and mourn, for he bears the curse for all you've done.
Verse 3
Come, O sinner, come rejoice— mercy fills this place of scorn. For he dies to save his enemies, that all who draw near may know his peace. Come, O sinner, come rejoice, through the death of Christ, death is destroyed.
