Songs of Free Grace ‎#18

18. Come to Jesus

1 Art thou weary with transgressions?
Art thou lonesome, sin-sick soul?
Come to Jesus; in confession,
He can make the poor heart whole.

Chorus:
Art thou lonely?
Art thou weary?
Art thou sick and sore oppressed?
Oh, poor sinner,
Come to Jesus;
He will give thee peace and rest!

2 Do thy hopes like flowers wither?
Till thy soul is sick with dread?
Come to Jesus, trusting wholly,
And thou shalt be comforted. [Chorus]

3 Hast thou wander'd from the pathway,
Where thy wayward feet should tread?
Come to Jesus, he is waiting;
Tenderly thou shalt be led. [Chorus]

4 Do the friends thou lovest leave thee?
Art thou lonesome in the way?
Come to Jesus, he will love thee;
He will care for thee alway. [Chorus]
