139. Be at Rest!

1 Art thou weary, broken-hearted?
Is thy soul with care opprest?
Hear the gentle voice that bids thee,
“Come to me and be at rest!”

Chorus:
Come with all thy heavy burdens,
Come and be forever blest;
Hark! His voice of love is pleading,
“Come, and I will give you rest!”

2 Ah, He sees the deep contrition
Of thy sorrow-stricken breast;
‘Tis His voice of love implores thee,
“Come to me and be at rest!” [Chorus]

3 Haste thee to the ark of safety
Where no storms can e’er molest;
Let the Savior guide thee homeward
To the port of peace and rest. [Chorus]
