The Invitation Accepted

Charles Wesley • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 11:28

Verse 1

Come, ye weary sinners, come, All who feel your heavy load; Jesus calls His wanderers home; Hasten to your pardoning God.

Verse 2

Come, ye guilty souls oppressed, Answer to the Savior’s call: "Come, and I will give you rest; "Come, and I will save you all."

Verse 3

Jesus, full of truth and love, We Thy gracious call obey; Faithful let Thy mercies prove, Take our load of guilt away.

Verse 4

Fain we would on Thee rely, Cast on Thee our sin and care: To Thine arms of mercy fly, Find our lasting quiet there.

Verse 5

Lo, we come to Thee for ease: True and gracious as Thou art, Now our weary souls release, Write forgiveness on our heart.
