Found these at http://free.gentle.org/users/gospelhymns but I am having trouble with their site. The tune does play at this page:

I'm trying to get in there to snag the MIDI.

Sounds like the version at Voices Across America linked in my above post. Words differ some, see next post.

I WILL ARISE AND GO TO JESUS, I
verses by J. Hart

Come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore:
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity, love and power:

Refrain:
I will arise and go to Jesus,
He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Saviour,
O there are ten thousand charms.

Now, ye needy, come and welcome:
God's free bounty glorify:
True belief and true repentance--
Every grace that brings you nigh--

Let not conscience make you linger,
Nor of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness He requireth
Is to feel your need of Him;

Come, ye weary, heavy-laden,
Bruised and mangled by the Fall;
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all:

View Him prostrate in the garden,
On the ground your Maker lies!
On the bloody tree behold Him,
Hear Him cry before He dies,

Lo, the incarnate God, ascended,
Pleads the merit of His blood:
Venture on Him, venture wholly,
Let no other trust intrude:
