Verse 1
Come, said Jesus' sacred voice, Come, and make My paths your choice; I will guide you to your home; Weary pilgrim, hither come.
Verse 2
Thou who, homeless, sole, forlorn, Long hast borne the proud world’s scorn, Long hast roamed the barren waste, Weary pilgrim, hither haste.
Verse 3
Ye who, tossed on beds of pain, Seek for ease, but seek in vain; Ye, by fiercer anguish torn, In remorse for guilt who mourn;
Verse 4
Hither come, for here is found Balm that flows for every wound, Peace that ever shall endure, Rest eternal, sacred, sure. AMEN.
