Come, ye weary sinners, oppressed

Author: Decourcy
Tune: [Come, ye weary sinners, oppressed]
Published in 43 hymnals

Representative Text

1 Come, ye weary souls oppress'd,
Find in Christ the promised rest;
On him all your burden roll,
He can wound, and he make whole.

2 Ye who dread the wrath of God,
Come and wash in Jesus' blood;
To the Son of David cry,
In his word he's passing by.

3 Naked, guilty, poor, and blind,
All your wants in Jesus find;
This the day of mercy is,
Now accept the proffer'd bliss.
