Author: William C. Dix Hymnal: Elmhurst Hymnal #141 (1921) Meter: 7.6.7.6 irregular Lyrics: 1 “Come unto Me, ye weary,
And I will give you rest.”
O blessed voice of Jesus,
Which comes to hearts oppressed!
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;
Of joy that hath no ending,
Of love, of love which cannot cease.
2 “Come unto Me, ye wand’rers,
And I will give you light.”
O loving voice of Jesus,
Which comes to cheer the night!
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;
But morning brings us gladness
And songs, 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 aid our strife!
Which comes to aid 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;
But Thou hast made us mighty
And stronger, and stronger than the strong.
4 “And whosoever cometh
I will not cast him out.”
O welcome voice of Jesus
Which drives away our doubt!
Which drives away our doubt!
Which calls us, very sinners,
Unworthy though we be
Of love so free and boundless,
To come, dear Lord, to Thee;
Of love so free and boundless,
To come, to come, dear Lord, to Thee. Topics: Christ Invitation, to Weary; Comfort; Communion Holy; Call and Response Languages: English Tune Title: MESSIAH
