Lyics

"Come unto me," the Saviour cries,

All ye by sin oppress'd;

Confess my name before the world,

And I will give you rest.



Assume my mild and easy yoke,

And by obedience prove

Your heart's devotion to my cause,

Your gratitude and love.



In meekness strive to do my will,

All other teachers flee;

Lay ev'ry earthly trust aside,

And learn alone of me.



The stores of wisdom all are mine,

And to each trustful heart,

Treasures of knowledge, deep and pure,

I gladly will impart.



I am of meek and lowly heart,

And those who follow me

Must cast all lofty pride away,

And learn humility.



Through life, then, humbly follow on;

In death, lean on my breast;

Fear not the dark and gloomy grave,

Beyond it lies your rest.
