Hymn 114
Come Unto Me
Hear the blessed Savior calling the oppressed,
“O ye heavy laden, come to Me and rest;
Come, no longer tarry, I your load will bear;
Bring me ev'ry burden, bring me ev'ry care.”
Are you disappointed, wand'ring here and there,
Dragging chains of doubt and loaded down with care?
Do unholy feelings struggle in your breast?
Bring your case to Jesus, He will give you rest.
Have you cares of business, cares of pressing debt?
Cares of social life or cares of hope unmet?
Are you by remorse or sense of guilt depressed?
Come right on to Jesus, He will give you rest.
Have you by temptation often conquered been?
Has a sense of weakness brought distress within?
Christ will sanctify you, if you claim His best,
In the Holy Spirit, He will give you rest.
Come unto Me,
I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you,
Hear Me and be blest;
I am meek and lowly,
Come and trust My might;
Come, My yoke is easy,
And My burden's light.
Come unto Me, come unto Me, I will give you rest, I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, take My yoke upon you, Hear Me and be blest, hear Me and be blest; I am meek and lowly, I am meek and lowly, Come and trust My might, come and trust My might; Come, O come, come, My yoke is easy, Come, O come, Come, My burden's light.
