Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) ‎#107

107. Come unto Me

1 O heart bowed down with sorrow!
O eyes that long for sight!
There's gladness in believing,
In Jesus there is light.

Chorus:
"Come (Come, O come,) unto me (come unto Me,)
All ye (Come, O come,) that labor (all ye that labor,)
And (Come, O come) are heavy laden, (souls,)
And I will give you rest.
Take (Come, O come) My yoke upon you, (come, take My yoke,)
And learn (Come, O come) of Me; (come, learn of Me;)
For I am meek and lowly in heart:
And ye shall find rest unto your souls."

2 Divinest consolation
Doth Christ the Healer give;
Art thou in condemnation?
Believe, repent and live. [Chorus]

3 His peace is like a river,
His love is like a song;
His yoke's a burden never;
'Tis easy all day long. [Chorus]
