Text: | Come unto Me, ye weary |
Author: | W. C. Dix |
Tune: | [Come unto Me, ye weary] |
Composer: | J. Stainer, 1840ā1901 |
1 "Come unto Me, ye weary,
And I will give you rest."
O blessed voice of Jesus,
Which comes to hearts oppressed;
It tells of benediction,
Of pardon, grace, and peace,
Of joy that hath no ending,
Of love which cannot cease.
2 "Come unto Me, ye wanderers,
And I will give you light."
O loving voice of Jesus,
Which comes to cheer the night;
Our hearts were filled with sadness,
And we had lost our way;
But morning brings us gladness,
And songs the break of day.
3 "Come unto Me, ye fainting,
And I will give you life."
O cheering voice of Jesus,
Which comes to end our strife;
The foe is stern and eager,
The fight is fierce and long;
But Thou hast made us mighty,
And stronger than the strong.
4 "And whosoever cometh,
I will not cast him out."
O patient voice of Jesus,
Which drives away our doubt;
Which, though we be unworthy
Of love so great and free,
Invites us very sinners
To come, dear Lord, to Thee.
