Come unto Jesus,
all ye that labor,
All that are weary,
sad and oppressed;
Still He is calling,
oh, friend and neighbor,
“Come unto Me,
and I will give you rest.”
Down thro’ the ages,
sweetly ’tis ringing,
This word of Jesus,
come and be blest ;
Sweeter than carols,
angels are singing,
“Come unto Me,
and I will give you rest.”
Bring Him the burden,
heavily pressing,
Tell Him the sorrows
hid in your breast;
Sin and transgression,
freely confessing,
Come unto Him,
and He will give you rest.
Down thro’ the ages,
sweetly ’tis ringing,
This word of Jesus,
come and be blest ;
Sweeter than carols,
angels are singing,
“Come unto Me,
and I will give you rest.”
Lose not a moment,
haste to your Savior,
Ere the bright day-beams
fade in the west;
Asking His mercy,
seeking His favor,
Come unto Him,
and He will give you rest.
Down thro’ the ages,
sweetly ’tis ringing,
This word of Jesus,
come and be blest ;
Sweeter than carols,
angels are singing,
“Come unto Me,
and I will give you rest.”
Come unto Jesus,
Savior and Brother,
Surely you need Him,
purest and best;
Truer than father,
fonder than mother,
Come unto Him,
and He will give you rest.
Down thro’ the ages,
sweetly ’tis ringing,
This word of Jesus,
come and be blest ;
Sweeter than carols,
angels are singing,
“Come unto Me,
and I will give you rest.”
