11. Jesus Will Give You Rest

1 Will you come, will you come, with your poor broken heart,
Lay it down at the feet of your Savior and Lord,
Burdened and sin oppressed?

Chorus:
O happy rest, sweet happy rest,
Jesus will give you rest.
O, why won't you come in simple, trusting faith?
Jesus will give you rest.

2 Will you come, will you come? there is mercy for you,
Only come as you are, and believe on his name
Balm for your aching breast. [Chorus]

3 Will you come, will you come? you have nothing to pay;
By his death on the cross purchased life for your soul,
Jesus, who loves you best. [Chorus]

4 Will you come, will you come? how he pleads with you now.
And whatever your sin or your sorrow may be,
Fly to his loving breast; [Chorus]
