Author: Lizzie DeArmond Hymnal: Uplifted Voices #10 (1901) First Line: O weary of heart, heavy laden Refrain First Line: Come hither, ye faithful Lyrics: 1 O weary of heart, heavy laden,
Look up to the Calvary hill,
The way to the cross may be lonely,
But Jesus abides with you still,
Blessed Jesus abides with you still.
Refrain:
Come hither, ye faithful,
Love banisheth fear,
No path can be lonely,
With Jesus so near;
Come, come with rejoicing,
Hail our risen King;
Life and light forever,
Life and light forever,
Life and light forever,
Christ to us doth bring.
2 Press on, ‘tis the Christ light undying,
The glory that ne’er will grow dim,
That shines through the gathering darkness,
To lead weary pilgrims to Him;
Still it leads weary pilgrims to Him. [Refrain]
3. A voice ringeth down through the ages,
Above earthly sorrow and strife,
“Because I live ye shall live also,
For Death is the gateway of life;”
Truly, Death is the gateway of life. [Refrain]
