Come, Weary Wanderer

Verse 1

Come, weary wanderer, Spent and distressed; Come, lean, O tired heart, On Jesus’ breast, Hear how he calleth thee; Grieved for thy misery Earnestly, lovingly Offers thee rest; Earnestly, lovingly Offers thee rest.

Verse 2

List to his pleading voice, Cease thou to roam, Find in thy Savior’s love Refuge and home; False lights are luring thee, Dangers thou can’st not see, Come, safe and happy be, Come, wand’rer, come; Come, safe and happy be, Come, wand’rer, come.

Verse 3

Laden and toiling one, On Jesus roll, Burdens thou cans’t not bear; Bring thou the whole, Sin, sorrow, care and dread, Burdens of heart and head, Lay down and take instead Rest for thy soul; Lay down and take instead Rest for thy soul.

Verse 4

Bond slave of sin, thy Lord Speaketh to thee; Ready to free thy soul, Waiting is he; Why should thy spirit faint? He heareth thy complaint. Yield to his sweet constraint, Rise and be free; Yield to his sweet constraint, Rise and be free.
