LyicsBurdened with guilt, wouldst thou be blest?
Trust not the world; it gives no rest:
I bring relief to hearts oppressed;
O weary sinner, come!
Come, leave thy burden at the cross;
Come all thy gains but empty dross;
My grace repays all earthly loss:
O needy sinner, come!
Come, hither bring thy boding fears,
Thine arching heart, thy bursting tears,
'T is mercy's voice salutes thine ears:
O trembling sinner, come!
"The Spirit and the bride say, Come:"
Rejoicing saints re-echo, Come!
Who faints, who thirsts, who will, may come;
Thy Saviour bids thee come.
