Sweet rest

Author: Mrs. Loula K. Rogers Hymnal: Light and Life #32 (1881) First Line: Come unto me, all ye weary and worn Refrain First Line: Sowing or reaping Lyrics: 1 Come unto me, all ye weary and worn; All ye that labor and all that mourn, All who have laid their sweet treasures away, Far from the light of day; Bring me your burdens, ye fainting and weak; I alone promise the rest ye seek; Come, all ye stricken, by sorrow oppress'd, And I will give you sweet rest! Refrain: Sowing or reaping, Smiling or weaping, Whate'er the labor assign'd you may be. Jesus will give you sweet rest! Rest! Rest! Jesus will give you sweet rest! 2 Easy my yoke, and my burden is light; I am the Way in the darksome night: Follow me, trusting wherever I lead, Giving you all ye need; And if thy pathway seem rugged and drear, Follow, still follow the voice you hear, Leading you safely, with all who are blest, To the sweet haven of rest! [Refrain] 3 Listen! oh! listen! 'tis Jesus today Calls you from sorrows of earth away. All, all are bidden to seek the bright goal,-- Rest for the weary soul! Come, and drink now of the River of Life; Cast off the burdens of sin and strife; Follow wherever his footstep hath prest, Finding sweet comfort and rest!
