Come close to the Savior,
thy loving Redeemer,
O sorrowing heart oppressed
(sorely oppressed);
Life’s journey is dreary,
thy spirit is weary;
O come unto Him and rest.
Peacefully, tranquilly, tenderly rest,
Folding thy wings like a dove,
Peacefully, tranquilly, tenderly rest,
Safe in the arms of His love.
Come close to the Savior,
He calleth thee gently,
Draw near to thy Father’s throne
(thy Father’s throne);
His eyes will behold thee,
His mercy enfold thee,
Why carry thy grief alone?
Peacefully, tranquilly, tenderly rest,
Folding thy wings like a dove,
Peacefully, tranquilly, tenderly rest,
Safe in the arms of His love.
