Lyics

COME, you weary sinners, come--

All who feel your heavy load;

Jesus calls the wand'rers home;

Hasten to your pard'ning God.



Come, you guilty souls, oppress'd,

Answer to the Saviour's call;

Come, and I will give you rest;

Come, and be deliver'd all.



Hear the great Redeemer call you;

Cease to heave the plaintive sigh;

Let not guilt or fear enthral you;

Come, and you shall never die.



If by sin or sore temptation

You are weary and oppress'd,

Hear the Saviour's invitation,

"Come, and I will give you rest."
