“Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28.
“COME UNTO ME”—’tis Jesus calls
In tones of tend’rest love;
My precious blood was shed for thee,
That thou should’st live above.
O, sinner come, and I will cleanse
And take thy sins away,
And fill thy heart with joy and peace,
Throughout each passing day!
“COME UNTO ME—with outstretched arms
I wait to welcome thee;
Poor heavy-laden sinner haste,
Arise and come to Me.
Bring all the burden of thy guilt,
Those weary years of sin,
My arms of love are opened wide
To take the wand’rer in.
“COME UNTO ME”—the day of grace
Will soon have passed away,
Eternity is drawing nigh,
O, do not longer stay!
Each moment nearer carries thee
To thine eternal doom,
Then haste, let not thy soul be lost,
But come while yet there’s room.
