- 'Come unto me, ye weary,
And I will give you rest'
O blessed voice of Jesus
Which comes to hearts oppressed! repeat
It tells of benediction
Of pardon, grace and peace,
Of Joy that hath no ending
Of love which cannot cease;
Of love, Of love, which cannot cease. - Come unto me, ye wanderers,
And I will give you light.'
O loving voice of Jesus
Which comes to cheer the night! repeat
Our hearts were filled with sadness
And we had lost our way;
But morning bring us gladness,
And songs, the break of day.
But morning brings us gladness
And songs, And songs, the break of day. - Come unto me, ye fainting,
And I will give you life.'
O cheering voice of Jesus
Which comes to aid our strife! repeat
The foes is stern and eager,
The fight is fierce and long;
But thou hast made us mighty,
And stronger than the strong.
But thou hast made us mighty
And stronger, and stronger than the strong. - And Whosever cometh,
I will not cast him out.'
O Welcome vice of Jesus,
Which drive away our doubt! repeat
Which calls us, very sinners,
Unworthy thou we be of love so free and boundless,
To come, dear Lord, to thee.
Of love so free and boundless
To come, to come, dear Lord to thee. Amen
