I distinctly remember singing "Come,Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy" at a Mennonite church. Not often, but probably at least a few times.

We would have sung the Church and Sunday School version many times.

This is an old hymn I've really come to enjoy. Is this one sung in CA circles, too?
I think it is included in the Brethren hymnal. I don't remember ever singing it in any Mennonite churches.
I guess I should issue a partial retraction of my comment. I looked up the Church Hymnal version of this song yesterday. The wording is a bit different and there is no refrain. I have helped to sing the Church Hymnal version in (Mennonite) church already.

Both 'Zion's Praises' and the 'Christian Hymnal' have a version of the song, one longer and one shorter.

Abide with me, ’tis eventide.
The day is past and gone;
The shadows of the evening fall;
The night is coming on.
Within my heart a welcome Guest,
Within my home abide.
O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, ’tis eventide.

O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, ’tis eventide.

Abide with me, ’tis eventide.
Thy walk today with me
Has made my heart within me burn,
As I communed with Thee.
Thy earnest words have filled my soul
And kept me near Thy side.

Abide with me, ’tis eventide.
And lone will be the night,
If I cannot commune with Thee,
Nor find in Thee my light.
The darkness of the world, I fear,
Would in my home abide.
O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, ’tis eventide.

O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, ’tis eventide.

I started this song at a song service and got no help from the younger people. They asked me afterwards "Where did you learn that song?" We just always knew it.

Jesus, Thy boundless love to me
No thought can reach, no tongue declare;
Unite my thankful heart with Thee
And reign without a rival there.
To Thee alone, dear Lord, I live;
Myself to Thee, dear Lord, I give.

O love, how cheering is thy ray!
All pain before thy presence flies;
Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away
Wherever thy healing beams arise.
O Jesus, nothing may I see,
Nothing desire or seek, but Thee!

O that I, as a little child,
May follow Thee, and never rest
Till sweetly Thou hast breathed Thy mild
And lowly mind into my breast!
Nor ever may we parted be,
Till I become as one with Thee.

Still let Thy love point out my way;
How wondrous things Thy love hath wrought!
Still lead me, lest I go astray;
Direct my word, inspire my thought;
And if I fall, soon may I hear
Thy voice, and know that love is near.

In suffering be Thy love my peace,
In weakness be Thy love my power;
And when the storms of life shall cease,
Jesus, in that important hour,
In death as life be Thou my guide,
And save me, who for me hast died.

Try hard not to offend. Try harder not to be offended.
Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not after you.

Great hymn. A cappella is my favorite.
