Rest for the Weary.

YE weary ones, to Him now come
Who freely offers rest and home;
Rest from the servitude of sin,
A home the Father’s house within.
He who invites demands no deeds;
Able He is to meet all needs;
Suited alike to age and youth
His every word of grace and truth.
Coming to Him, all come to stay;
No needy one turns He away;
He sets them closely at His side,
With Him forever to abide.
Who is this One, of whom you say,
“None coming will He turn away”?
It is the LORD, from heaven who came,
The Son of God, JESUS His name.
JESUS! O name of highest worth,
Of all in heaven, of all on earth!
O sweetest name to sinners shown,
To angels or to saints made known!
No other saving name is given
In any nation under heaven;
Come, then, to Him; in Him believe;
From Him all gifts of grace receive.
So will He be your Guide through life;
Your Guard in every storm and strife;
Your Peace, your Hope, your Light, your Way
From earth’s dark shades to heaven’s bright day.
