Author: Joseph Swain Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #390 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Come, ye souls by sin afflicted,
Bowed with fruitless sorrow down;
By the broken law convicted,
Through the cross behold the crown;
Look to Jesus;
Mercy flows through him alone.
2 Take his easy yoke and wear it;
Love will make obedience sweet;
Christ will give you strength to bear it,
While his wisdom guides your feet
Safe to glory,
Where his ransomed captives meet.
3 Blessed are the eyes that see him,
Blest the ears that hear his voice;
Blessed are the souls that trust him,
And in him alone rejoice:
His commandments
Then become their happy choice.
4 Sweet as home to pilgrim's weary,
Light to newly opened eyes,
Or full springs in deserts dreary,
Is the rest the cross supplies:
All who taste it
Shall to rest immortal rise.
Amen. Topics: Christians Blessedness of; The Church The Free Offer of the Gospel; Comfort; Coming to Christ; Obedience; Rest Scripture: Matthew 11:28-29 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AUSTIN
