“Come unto Me, dear children,
And I will give you rest.”
blessed voice of Jesus,
Which comes to hearts oppressed!
It tells of benediction,
Of pardon, grace, and peace,
Of joy that hath no ending,
Of love which cannot cease.
“Come unto Me, dear children,
And I will give you light.”
loving voice of Jesus,
Which comes to cheer the night.
Our hearts were filled with sadness,
And we had lost our way;
But morning brings us gladness,
And songs the break of day.
“And whosoever cometh,
I will not cast him out.”
patient love of Jesus,
Which drives away our doubt,—
Which calls us very sinners,
Unworthy though we be
Of love so free and boundless,
To come, blest Lord, to Thee!
