Come unto Me
Author: C. P. J. Meter: 11.11.11.11 with refrain Appears in 46 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:28 First Line: Hear the blessed Savior calling the oppressed Refrain First Line: Come unto Me, I will give you rest Lyrics: 1 Hear the blessed Savior calling the oppressed,
“Oh, ye heavy-laden, come to Me and rest;
Come, no longer tarry, I your load will bear,
Bring Me every burden, bring Me every care.”
Refrain:
Come unto Me, I will give you rest;
Take My yoke upon you, hear Me and be blest;
I am meek and lowly, come and trust My might;
Come, My yoke is easy, and My burden’s light.
2 Are you disappointed, wand’ring here and there,
Dragging chains of doubt and loaded down with care?
Do unholy feelings struggle in your breast?
Bring your case to Jesus—He will give you rest. [Refrain]
3 Stumbling on the mountains dark with sin and shame,
Stumbling toward the pit of hell’s consuming flame;
By the pow’rs of sin deluded and oppressed,
Hear the tender Shepherd, “Come to Me and rest.” [Refrain]
4 Have you by temptation often conquered been,
Has a sense of weakness brought distress within?
Christ will sanctify you, if you’ll claim His best;
In the Holy Spirit, He will give you rest. [Refrain] Topics: Invitation Used With Tune: [Hear the blessed Savior calling the oppressed] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Come_unto_Me); Anonymous/Unknown, The Blue Book (75)

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.7.7.6.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:3 Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
when once we heed your call:
to live according to your word,
and daily learn, refreshed, restored
that you are Lord of all,
and will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
your yoke is hard to bear,
if worldly pressures fray the mind,
and love itself cannot unwind
its tangled skein of care:
our inward life repair.
3 We marvel how your saints become
in hindrances more sure;
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your power to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, Lord, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines or ventures new,
may we not cease to look to you,
the cross you hung upon--
all you endeavored done. Topics: God in Society Work and Leisure; Anxiety; Church Ministry and Ministers; Labor Used With Tune: REPTON

Jesus, Lover of My Soul
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,213 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.

Their early blessings on His name.

And all who suffer want are blest.

Honors peculiar to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud amen.

I trace the rainbow through the rain,
and feel the promise is not vain,
that morn shall tearless be.

I dare not ask to fly from thee:
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
and from the ground there blossoms red
life that shall endless be. Topics: Our Response to Christ In Devotion; The Church Celebrates Death and Grieving; Death and Bereavement; Eternal Life; God Love of Used With Tune: ST. MARGARET
