Lyics

"Come hither all ye weary souls,

"Ye heavy laden sinners come;

"I'll give you rest from all your toils,

"And raise you to my heav'nly home.



"They shall find rest that learn of me;

"I'm of a meek and lowly mind;

"But passion rages like the sea,

"And pride is restless as the wind.



"Blest is the man whose shoulders take

"My yolk, and bear it with delight;

"My yolk is easy to his neck,

"My grace shall make the burden.



Jesus we come at thy command;

With faith, and hope, and humble zeal,

Resign our spirits to thy hand,

To mould and guide us at thy will.
