O Come, Weary One

Verse 1

O come, weary one, to the only sure Refuge, Where mercy and pardon are boundless and free; O haste with thy burden of sin and of sorrow, Thy gracious Redeemer is waiting for thee.

Chorus

Come, O come, Where mercy and pardon are boundless and free; Then haste with thy burden of sin and of sorrow, Thy gracious Redeemer is waiting for thee.

Verse 2

O come, weary one, for the day beams are fading; Say, why on the desert afar wilt thou roam? The arms of the Saviour will gladly enfold thee, He longs with forgiveness to welcome thee home.

Verse 3

O come, weary one, for the night clouds pursue thee; How darkly they frown on the cold mountain’s brow; The voice of the tempest is wailing around thee, And none but the Saviour can shelter thee now.

Verse 4

O come, weary one, He is urging thee onward; One step o’er the threshold and life thou shalt gain; The light of His love thro’ the darkness is breaking; All glory to Jesus, the Lamb that was slain!
