The Finest of the Wheat No. 2 ‎#61

61. Come to Jesus

1 From the dazzling seats of glory,
Came the Son of God to die;
Freely gave Himself a ransom,
For a sinner such as I.

Refrain:
Come to Jesus, come to Jesus,
Weary sinner, hear the call;
At the cross lay down thy burden,
Let thy Savior bear it all.

2 I was weary—heavy-laden;
“Come to me,” said He “and rest.”
At His feet I laid my burden—
Fell upon my Savior’s breast. [Refrain]

3 When I trusted, simply trusted,
Thrilled to life my dying soul;
Praise His name, I love to tell it;
Jesus Christ hath made me whole. [Refrain]

4 Now He keeps me, ever keeps me,
Close within His arms of love;
Sure the peace my Savior gives me,
Must be like to that above. [Refrain]
