Good Will ‎#47

47. Come, Weary Wanderer

1 Come, weary wanderer,
Spent and distressed;
Come, lean, O tired heart,
On Jesus’ breast,
Hear how he calleth thee;
Grieved for thy misery
Earnestly, lovingly
Offers thee rest;
Earnestly, lovingly
Offers thee rest.

2 List to his pleading voice,
Cease thou to roam,
Find in thy Savior’s love
Refuge and home;
False lights are luring thee,
Dangers thou can’st not see,
Come, safe and happy be,
Come, wand’rer, come;
Come, safe and happy be,
Come, wand’rer, come.

3 Laden and toiling one,
On Jesus roll,
Burdens thou cans’t not bear;
Bring thou the whole,
Sin, sorrow, care and dread,
Burdens of heart and head,
Lay down and take instead
Rest for thy soul;
Lay down and take instead
Rest for thy soul.

4 Bond slave of sin, thy Lord
Speaketh to thee;
Ready to free thy soul,
Waiting is he;
Why should thy spirit faint?
He heareth thy complaint.
Yield to his sweet constraint,
Rise and be free;
Yield to his sweet constraint,
Rise and be free.
