1 Ho! ye weary, Jesus calls you,
Bids you come to him and rest,
Trusting in his love and mercy,
Come and lean upon his breast.

Refrain:
Whosoever will, may come,
None, none will he refuse;
You he calls in sweetest tone,
Now, oh, now his blessings choose.

2 Ho! ye weary, Jesus calls you,
Bread is plenty and to spare,
Come and eat the proffered manna,
Come the rich provision share. [Refrain]

3 Ho! ye weary, Jesus calls you,
Freely flows the living fount,
There is joy and full salvation,
Waiting for you at the mount. [Refrain]
