Jesus Passing

Thomas Hastings • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 11:28

Verse 1

Drooping souls no longer mourn, Jesus still is precious; If to Him you now return, Heaven will be propitious; Jesus now is passing by, Calling wanderers near Him; Drooping souls, you need not die, Go to Him and hear Him!

Verse 2

He has pardons full and free, Drooping souls to gladden; Still He cries—“Come unto me, Weary, heavy-laden!” Though your sins, like mountains high, Rise, and reach to heaven, Soon as you on Him rely, All shall be forgiven.

Verse 3

Precious is the Saviour’s name, Dear to all that love Him; He to save the dying came;— Go to Him and prove Him; Wandering sinners, now return; Contrite souls believe Him! Jesus calls you, cease to mourn; Worship Him; receive Him.
