Author: William C. Dix Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 249 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 Lyrics: 1 "Come unto me, ye weary, and I will give you rest." O blessed voice of Jesus which comes to hearts oppressed! It tells of benediction, of pardon, grace, and peace, of joy that hath no ending, of love which cannot cease. 2 "Come unto me, dear children, and I will give you light." O loving voice of Jesus which comes to cheer the night! Our hearts were filled with sadness, and we had lost our way; but morning brings us gladness, and songs the break of day. 3 "Come unto me, ye fainting, and I will give you life." O peaceful voice of Jesus which comes to end our strife! The foe is stern and eager, the fight is fierce and long; but thou hast made us mighty, and stronger than the strong. 4 "And whosoever cometh I will not cast him out." O patient love of Jesus which drives away our doubt; which calls us, very sinners, unworthy though we be of love so free and boundless, to come, dear Lord, to thee!

I danced for the fishermen, for James and John -- they came with me and the Dance went on. [Refrain] 3 I danced on the Sabbath when I cured the lame, the holy people said it was a shame. They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high, and they left me there on a Cross to die.

Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,220 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:28 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to thy bosom fly, while the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high; hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past; safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; hangs my helpless soul on thee; leave, ah! leave me not alone, still support and comfort me. All my trust on thee is stayed, all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenseless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art; freely let me take of thee; spring thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity.
