Lyics

"COME hither, all ye weary souls,

Ye heavy-laden sinners, come;

I'll give you rest from all your toils,

And raise you to my heav'nly home.



"They shall find rest who learn of me:

I'm of a meek and lowly mind;

But passion rages like the sea,

And pride is restless as the wind.



"Blest is the man whose shoulders take

My yoke, and bear it with delight:

My yoke is easy to the neck;

My grace shall make the burden light."



Jesus, we come at thy command;

With faith and hope and humble seal,

Resign our spirits to thy hand,

To mould and guide us at thy will.
