Come!
Mrs. James G. Johnson • English
Primary Scripture: Matthew 11:28
Verse 1
Oh, word of words, the sweetest, Oh, word, in which there lie All promise, all fulfillment, And end of mystery; Lamenting, or rejoicing, With doubt or terror nigh, I hear the "Come" of Jesus, And to his cross I fly.
Chorus
Come, oh, come to me, Come, oh, come to me, Weary, heavy laden, Come, oh, come to me, Come, oh, come to me, Come, oh, come to me, Weary, heavy laden come, oh come to me.
Verse 2
O soul, why shouldst thou wander From such a loving Friend? Cling closer, closer to him, Stay with him to the end, Alas! I am so helpless, So very full of sin, For I am ever wand'ring, And coming back again.
Chorus
Come, oh, come to me, Come, oh, come to me, Weary, heavy laden, Come, oh, come to me, Come, oh, come to me, Come, oh, come to me, Weary, heavy laden come, oh come to me.
Verse 3
Oh, each time draw me nearer, That soon the "Come" may be Naught but a gentle whisper, To one close, close to thee; Then, over sea and mountain, Far from, or near my home, I'll take thy hand and follow, At that sweet whisper "Come!"
Chorus
Come, oh, come to me, Come, oh, come to me, Weary, heavy laden, Come, oh, come to me, Come, oh, come to me, Come, oh, come to me, Weary, heavy laden come, oh come to me.
