79. Come Unto Me

1 Come, all ye weary and oppressed,
O come and I will give you rest;
I’ll bid your anxious fears depart,
For I am meek and lowly in heart,
For I am meek and lowly in heart,
And I will give you rest.

Refrain:
Ye that labor and are heavy-laden, come to Me,
Come, come, come, and learn of Me;
My yoke is easy, My burden is light,
My yoke is easy, My burden is light,
Come, O come, come, and I will give you rest.

2 Come, ye that feel the weight of sin,
And I will breathe sweet peace within;
I’ll lift the burden from your heart,
Forgiveness I will freely impart,
Forgiveness I will freely impart,
And I will give you rest. [Refrain]

3 Come, ye that seem to toil in vain,
Beneath a load of grief and pain;
Come, cast on Me you every care,
The yoke of blessed fellowship wear,
The yoke of blessed fellowship wear,
And I will give you rest. [Refrain]

4 So tenderly my Saviour pleads,
For all His own He intercedes;
And still He’s calling, Come to Me,
And ye shall find rest unto your souls,
And ye shall find rest unto your souls,
For I will give you rest. [Refrain]
