Come Unto Me, Ye weary

Nathaniel Norton • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 11:28

Verse 1

"Come unto Me," it is the Savior's voice, The Lord of life, who bids thy heart rejoice; O weary heart, with heavy cares oppressed, "Come unto Me," and I will give you rest.

Chorus

"Come unto Me," "come unto Me," "Come unto Me, and I will give you rest," I will give you rest,... I will give you rest....

Verse 2

O dying man, with guilt and sin dismayed, With conscience wakened, of thy God afraid; 'Twixt hopes and fears--O, end the anxious strife, "Come unto Me," and I will give you life.

Chorus

"Come unto Me," "come unto Me," "Come unto Me, and I will give you rest," I will give you rest,... I will give you rest....

Verse 3

Rest, peace, and life, the flow'rs of deathless bloom, The Savior give us, not beyond the tomb-- But here, and now, on earth, some glimpse is giv'n Of joys which wait us thro' the gates of heav'n.

Chorus

"Come unto Me," "come unto Me," "Come unto Me, and I will give you rest," I will give you rest,... I will give you rest....
