The Cyber Hymnal ‎#13001

13001. Come Unto Me

1 "Come, ye weary, heavy laden
Faint and wounded in the strife;
I will bear anew your burdens,
I will give you light and life."

Refrain:
Still from Heav’n the Savior pleadeth,
As of old in Galilee;
"O ye weary, heavy laden,
Weak and wounded, come to Me."

2 "Are you vanquished in the conflict
With the myriad hosts of sin?
I have borne the heat of battle,
That the victory you might win." [Refrain]

3 "Does the way seem long and dreary
Leading to the mansions blest?
Soon, beside the living waters,
Ye shall find the promised rest." [Refrain]

4 "Learn of Me, for I am lowly;
Follow in the path I trod;
For it leads to joy immortal,
In the city of our God." [Refrain]
