Devotional Songs ‎#53

53. Weary heart, O come to me

1 Far away amid the darkness,
Far away, O Lord, from Thee,
‘Twas Thy voice that called so gently,
“Weary heart, O come to me.”

Chorus:
Blessed Saviour, how I praise Thee,
What a life of joy is mine;
With the blood of Thy atonement
Thou hast cleansed and sealed me Thine.

2 Once my feet were torn and bleeding
And my path was cold and drear,
Once the yoke of sin oppressed me,
Now its power no more I fear. [Chorus]

3 Thro' Thy grace to all extended,
Thro' Thy love so full and free,
In the Rock my soul is hiding,
Rock of Ages cleft for me. [Chorus]
