The Golden Sheaf ‎#78

78. Come Unto Me

1 Come unto me, O sinner, heavy laden,
Come unto me, and I will give you rest;
'Tis the voice of Jesus speaking still from heaven,
He will release you who by Satan are oppressed.

Chorus:
Jesus still is calling thee,
Come unto me, and I will give you rest;
Come, and I will give you rest;
I will give you rest,
I will give you rest.

2 Come unto Jesus, why waste life in folly,
Since precious time so swiftly onward rolls;
Take his yoke upon you, he is meek and lowly,
Come, ye shall surely find sweet rest unto your souls. [Chorus]

3 Soon he is coming with resplendent glory,
Seek now his favor while it's call'd to-day;
Soon the proclamation of salvation's story
And offered mercy shall forever pass away. [Chorus]
