LyicsCOME, weary souls, with sin distress'd,
Come and accept the promis'd rest;
The Saviour's gracious call obey,
And cast your gloomy fears away.
Oppress'd with guilt, a heavy load,
O come, and bow before your God!
Divine compassion, mighty love,
Will 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!
