Come, weary souls, with sin distressed,
The Saviour offers heavenly rest;
The kind, the gracious, call obey
And cast your gloomy fears away.
Oppressed with guilt, a painful load,
Oh, come and spread your woes abroad;
Divine compassion, mighty love,
Will all the painful load remove.
Here mercy’s boundless ocean flows,
To cleanse your guilt and heal your woes;
pardon and life, and endless peace,
How rich the gift! how free the grace!
Dear Saviour! let thy powerful love
Confirm our faith, our fears remove,
And sweetly influence every breast,
And guide us to eternal rest.
---Alternative verses---
Come, weary soul, with sin distressed,
The Saviour offers heavenly rest;
The kind, the gracious, call obey
And cast your gloomy fears away.
Oppressed with guilt, a painful load,
Oh, come and bow before your God!
Divine compassion, mighty love,
Will all the painful load remove.
Dear Saviour! let thy powerful love
Confirm our faith, our fears remove,
And sweetly reign in every breast,
And guide us to eternal rest.
