Hear the voice of Christ the Savior,
"Come, and I will give you rest;
Are you weary, heavy laden?
Lay your head upon My breast."
Nothing this poor world can offer
Ever gives the conscience rest;
'Tis alone in Christ the Savior
That the longing soul is blest.
'Tis in Christ, God's Son from heaven,
That a Savior can be found;
Peace and joy, and rest eternal,
In that blessed One abound.
Prove Him then your endless portion,
Find in Him your whole delight
Through the long and busy daytime,
Through the quiet hours of night.
Then, through those eternal ages,
You will rest and peace enjoy;
Christ your everlasting portion―
Pleasure then without alloy.
