Christ's Invitation to Sinners, or Humility and Pride

Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 57

Verse 1

Come hither, all ye weary souls, Ye heavy-laden sinners, come; I'll give you rest from all your toils, And raise you to my heavenly home.

Verse 2

They shall find rest who learn of me; I'm of a meek and lowly mind; But passion rages like the sea, And pride is restless as the wind.

Verse 3

Blest is the man whose shoulders take My yoke, and bear it with delight; My yoke is easy to his neck, My grace shall make the burden light.

Verse 4

Jesus, we come at thy command, With faith, and hope, and humble zeal, Resign our spirits to thy hand, To mold and guide us at thy will.
