Come, Ye Sinners Poor and Needy - Arise

The version of this song covered here took lyrics from the "Beach Spring" version of this song and applied the chorus and its melody from "The Prodigal Son".

This version appeared in William Walker's "Southern Harmony" in 1835.

At the church I attend, it doesn't matter whether you have a good voice or not, what matters is the song and the passion and emotion and truth - and I like this voice better than a lot of others . Maybe a little fast- but thank you. The contemporary version loses so much impact by stripping the correct tune. Thanks for keeping true..

@angelfish43 Thanks for your comments. Unfortunately I tend to get caught up in the song and always speed up the tempo.

I've heard worse singing, but just barely. Really, should have gotten someone else to sing it.

This guy shouldn't even attempt to sing. Terrible.

This same melody is called 'Restoration (First)' in the Denson Sacred Harp (#312b)
