Come to Jesus
Author: E. E. Rexford Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Art thou weary with transgressions? Refrain First Line: Art thou lonely? Lyrics: 1 Art thou weary with transgressions?
Art thou lonesome, sin-sick soul?
Come to Jesus; in confession,
He can make the poor heart whole.
Chorus:
Art thou lonely?
Art thou weary?
Art thou sick and sore oppressed?
Oh, poor sinner,
Come to Jesus;
He will give thee peace and rest!
2 Do thy hopes like flowers wither?
Till thy soul is sick with dread?
Come to Jesus, trusting wholly,
And thou shalt be comforted. [Chorus]

Where thy wayward feet should tread?
Come to Jesus, he is waiting;
Tenderly thou shalt be led. [Chorus]

Art thou lonesome in the way?
Come to Jesus, he will love thee;
He will care for thee alway. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Art thou weary with transgressions?] Text Sources: "Banner of Victory," From
