"Come," Said Jesus' Sacred Voice

Anna L. Barbauld (1792) • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30

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.
