Description: Words by Joseph Hart, 1759, entitled Come and Welcome to Jesus Christ, with seven stanzas. Hart's hymn has an unusual meter: 87. 87. 12 7, the fifth line consisting of a four-beat phrase repeated three times. This was amended by Augustus Toplady in 1776 to 87. 87. 47, the words Holden used.
