LyicsCome, weary souls with sin distressed:
Oh do no longer stay!
Come and accept the promised rest:
Oh do no longer stay away!
The Savior's gracious call obey--
Oh do no longer stay!
And cast your gloomy fears away--
Oh do no longer stay away!
Oppressed with guilt, a heavy load,
Oh do no longer stay!
Oh come and bow before your God:
Oh do no longer stay away!
Divine compassion, mighty love--
Oh do no longer stay!
Will all the painful load remove:
Oh do no longer stay away!
Here mercy's boundless ocean flows--
Oh do no longer stay!
To cleanse your guilt and heal your woes:
Oh do no longer stay away!
Pardon, and life, and endless peace--
Oh do no longer stay!
How rich the gift, how free the grace!
Oh do no longer stay away!
