The Gospel Chorus ‎#53

53. Come for Rest

1 “Come unto me,” O precious invitation,
Come unto me, and I will give you rest;
Rest from your ills, your care and tribulation,
Come unto me, and evermore be blest.”

2 “Come unto me,” O holy, blessed promise,
Come unto me, ye weary and oppressed;
I’ll heal your woes, and share your ev’ry sorrow,
Come unto me, and I will give you rest.

3 “Come unto me, ye weak and heavy laden,
Come unto me, ye suff’ring and distressed;
Come, all ye erring, come to me, ye straying,
Kneel at my feet, and I will give you rest.”
