27. Weary Souls Invited to rest

I. Come weary souls, with sin distrest,
The Savior offers heav'nly rest;
The kind, the gracious call obey,
And cast your gloomy fears away.

II. Oppress'd with guilt, a painful load,
O come, and spread your woes abroad;
Divine compassion, mighty love,
Will all the painful load remove.

III. Here mercy's boundless ocean flows,
To cleanse your guilt and heal your woes;
Pardon, and life, and endless peace—
How rich the gift! how free the grace!

IV. Lord, we accept with thankful heart,
The hope thy gracious words impart;
We come with trembling, yet rejoice,
And bless thy kind inviting voice.

V. Dear Saviour, let thy pow'rful love
Confirm our faith, our fears remove,
And sweetly influence ev'ry breast,
And guide us to eternal rest.
