LyicsCome, weary souls, with sins distrest,
Come and accept the promis'd rest;
The Saviour's gracious call obey,
And cast your gloomy fears away.
Oppress'd with guilt a painful load,
O come and spread your woes abroad;
Divine compassion, mighty love,
With all the painful load remove
Here mercy's boundless ocean flows,
To cleanse your sins and heal your woes,
Pardon and life and endless peace,
How rich the gift! how free the grace!
Lord, we accept with thankful heart
The hope thy gracious words impart;
We come with trembling, yet rejoice,
And bless the kind inviting voice.
Dear Saviour, let thy powerful love
Confirm our faith, our fears remove,
And sweetly influence ev'ry breast,
And guide us to eternal rest.
