27. Come unto Me

1 Sweetly the Saviour's voice is ever calling,
Come unto Me!
Come unto Me!
See, shadows dark around you now are falling,
Come unto Me!

Chorus:
Jesus, the Lord of all,
Oh, hear His loving call,
Come unto Me, all ye weary ones, O come!
Come unto Me! Come unto Me!
Come, all ye weary ones, no longer roam.

2 Long have I sought you lost in darkness dreary,
Come unto Me!
Come unto Me!
I am the refuge waiting for the weary,
Come unto Me! [Chorus]

3 Here is the rest that I alone can give you,
Come unto Me!
Come unto Me!
Safe in Thy loving arms, O Lord, receive us,
Come unto Me! [Chorus]

4 Jesus, forsaking all that would deceive us,
Come unto Me!
Come unto Me!
Safe in Thy loving arms, O Lord, receive us,
Coming to Thee! [Chorus]
