Representative Text

1 - حالاً تعالَوا إلى المسيحْ
يا مَن تعِبتُمْ بحِملِكمْ
فهْو الذي لطفُهُ يُريحْ
مَن حِملُه ثقيلْ

القرار
كلُّ مَن يتخِذُ المسيحْ
ملجأً لهُ فيستريحْ
يحيا سعيداً مُزَيَّناً
ببرِّهِ الجليلْ

2 - الربُّ قد قالَ أقبِلوا
إليَّ إني مُريحُكُمْ
فأسرِعوا كي تُظَلَّلوا
بظِلِّهِ الظَّليلْ

3 - بدمِهِ تشتَفي الخُطاهْ
وقربُهُ مَرتَعُ الهنا
وعندَه مورِدُ الحياهْ
يُروَى به الغليلْ
