Sharon's Dewy Rose ‎#39

39. Invitation

1 Come, ye wand'rers, now forsaken,
Come, and let your souls find rest;
Come, and join the heav'nly chorus;
Come, and journey with the blest.

Chorus:
Come, ye weary, heavy laden;
Come, and let your souls be blest,
Come to Christ, the living fountain;
"Come, and I will give you rest."

2 Saints are waiting, angels longing,
God, inviting, "children come;"
Why now linger? why not heed them?
Why not seek eternal rest? [Chorus]

3 Christ is willing to forgive you;
Only seek and you shall find;
He it was that suffered for you;
He has died for all mankind. [Chorus]

4 Come, then, weary, heavy laden,
Throw your burdens all aside;
Come and claim the blessed Jesus;
'Tis for you the Lord hath died. [Chorus]
