One Sunday evening, many years ago, a business man in one of the largest cities was walking along the street when he was arrested by the sound of singing coming from a large hall, He went to the door and listened. The tune of the hymn fascinated him, and he was constrained to go inside. The great meeting was being brought to a close, and the congregation were singing an appeal for those who had not yielded their heart to the blessed Saviour. He listened to the words of the chorus:
“I am coming, Lord,
Coming now to Thee!
Trusting only in the blood
That flowed on Calvary.”
That night he made the words of that chorus his own, and went back to his home in the suburbs of the city happy in the love of Jesus.
“Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matt, 11:28.
