Author: Anon. Hymnal: Christ in Song #117 (1908) First Line: O, Comfort to the dreary! Lyrics: 1 O, Comfort to the dreary!
O, Joy to the oppressed!
"Come unto Me, ye weary,
And I will give you rest."
O, come with all your weakness,
Come with your load of woe;
And learn if him with meekness
All righteousness to know.
3 Ye who the world have courted,
And suffer'd from its spite;
Ye who with sin have sported,
And felt its serpent bite;
Come, learn, your follies quitting,
That this world's gain is loss;
To Christ's light yoke submitting,
Come, and take up the cross.
4 O come and make the trial;
Christ's service is release;
If hard the self denial,
Its fruit is joy and peace.
His word your faith defending,
Shall serve you for the strife;
Peace all your steps attending;
The prime, eternal life! Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Christ Rest in Christ; Living His Life Rest in Christ; Living His Life Rest in Christ; Living His Life Rest in Christ; Invitation and Repentance Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA
