"COME!" (John vi. 37.)
Jesus is calling thee,List, to His voice;Great gifts He offers thee,Take and rejoice!
Come for the pardon free,Bought by His blood!Come and be reconciledUnto thy God!
Come, and accept the peaceThat He hath brought!Come for the righteousnessThat He hath wrought!
Come for eternal lifeSo fully given!Come to be perfected,Made meet for heaven!
Come, find in Him all truthWisdom, and grace;All His rare promisesGladly embrace!
Come for a new, clean heartAnd in His name,The Spirit's mighty powerTrustingly claim!
Come unto Him for rest,Cease from thy care,Roll it upon thy Lord,For He will bear!
Come! He will heal thy woes,Whate'er they be;He knoweth each; and HeWill comfort thee.
