LyicsCOME, weary souls, with sin distressed;
The Saviour offers heavenly rest;
The kind, the gracious call obey,
And cast your gloomy fears away.
Oppressed with guilt, a heavy load,
O come, and bow before your God.
Divine compassion, mighty love,
With all the painful load remove.
Here mercy's boundless ocean flows,
To cleanse your guilt and heal your woes;
Pardon, and life, and endless peace-
How rich the gift, how free the grace!
