6. "Come Unto Me." It Is the Savior's Voice

10s.
1
"Come unto Me." It is the Savior’s voice — 
 
The Lord of life, who bids thy heart rejoice;
 
O weary heart, with heavy cares oppressed,
 
"Come unto Me," and I will give you rest.
 
"Come unto Me," "come unto Me,"
 
"Come unto Me, and I will give you rest,"
 
I will give you rest, I will give you rest.
2
Weary with life’s long struggle, full of pain,
 
O doubting soul, thy Savior calls again;
 
Thy doubts shall vanish, and thy sorrows cease:
 
"Come unto Me," and I will give you peace.
3
O dying man, with guilt and sin dismayed,
 
With conscience wakened, of thy God afraid;
 
’Twixt hopes and fears — oh, end the anxious strife!
 
"Come unto Me," and I will give you life.
4
Life, rest and peace, the flowers of deathless bloom,
 
The Savior gives us — not beyond the tomb,
 
But here, and now, on earth, the taste is given
 
Of joys which wait us through the gates of heaven.
