348. Come, ye weary sinners, come

1 Come, ye weary sinners, come,
All who your heavy load;
Jesus calls His wanderers home;
Hasten to your pardoning God.

2 Come, ye guilty souls opprest,
Answer to the Saviour’s call:
"Come, and I will give you rest;
"Come, and I will save you all."

3 Jesus, full of truth and love,
We Thy kindest word obey:
Faithful let Thy mercies prove,
Take our load of guilt away.

4 Fain we would on Thee rely,
Cast on Thee our sin and care:
To Thine arms of mercy fly,
Find our lasting quiet there.

5 Lo, we come to Thee for ease:
True and gracious as Thou art,
Now our groaning souls release,
Write forgiveness on our heart.
