Representative Text

1 Is your life so drea­ry, your heart so wea­ry,
Bearing your load of sin?
If you’ll come to Jesus, your friend and Sav­ior,
He’ll give you peace with­in.

Refrain:
He is wait­ing go re­ceive you,
Truest friend who loves you best;
Only bring Him your hea­vy load of sin,
And He will give you rest.

2 Is your soul be­gin­ning to tire of sin­ning,
Groping for truth and life?
If you’ll now re­ceive Him and just be­lieve Him,
Jesus will give you rest. [Refrain]

3 If you’ll cease from stray­ing, His call ob­ey­ing,
Leaving the path of sin,
He will be­side you, His love will guide you,
And keep you pure with­in. [Refrain]

4 He will turn your sad­ness to joy and glad­ness,
If you make Him your guest;
And today’s great sor­row will fade to­mor­row,
for He will give you rest. [Refrain]
