Lyics

Oh come, come away, from labour now reposing,

Let anxious care awhile forbear,

Oh, come, come away.

Oh come, our sacred joys renew,

And here where faith will strengthen you,

And Christ will welcome you,

Oh come, come away.



From toil, and the cares on which the day is closing,

The hour of eve brings sweet reprieve,

Oh come, come away.

Oh come where God will smile upon thee,

And in our hearts will rapture be,

And time pass happily,

Oh come, come away.



While tuned to God's love, the angel harps are ringing,

To sound his praise through endless days,

Oh come, come away.

In answering songs of sympathy

We'll sing in tuneful harmony,

From earth's temptations free,

Oh come, come away.



The bright day is gone, the moon and stars appearing,

With silver light illume the night,

Oh come, come away.

Come, join your prayers with ours address

Kind Heav'n our meeting here to bless

With peace - hope - happiness -

Oh come, come away.
