Fly to Jesus

Charles Wesley • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 11:28

Verse 1

Weary souls, that wander wide From the central point of bliss, Turn to Jesus crucified, Fly to those dear wounds of His: Sink into the purple flood; Rise into the life of God.

Verse 2

Find in Christ the way of peace, Peace unspeakable, unknown; By His pain He gives you ease, Life by His expiring groan: Rise, exalted by His fall; Find in Christ your all in all.

Verse 3

O believe the record true, God to you His Son hath given! Ye may now be happy too, Find on earth the life of heaven: Live the life of heaven above, All the life of glorious love.

Verse 4

This the universal bliss, Bliss for every soul designed; God's original promise this, God's great gift to all mankind Blest in Christ this moment be! Blest to all eternity!
