1 ‘Tis Jesus calls, “Come unto me,”
Thou weary one, when sins distress;
At morn and eve bend thou the knee,
And freely all thy guilt confess.
Chorus:
‘Tis Jesus calls, that voice so sweet,
Invites thee all thy grief to lay
Down at the cross, His love entreat,
And learn of Him, the Living Way.
2 ‘Tis Jesus calls, “Come unto me,”
His voice oft whispers in thy ear;
Though heavy-laden, “Come to me,”
And cast thy ev’ry care. [Chorus]
3 ‘Tis Jesus calls; though racked with pain,
He’ll soothe thy anguish, give thee peace;
Thou’lt seek all other helps in vain;
The gospel only can release. [Chorus]
4 ‘Tis Jesus calls! O, now be wise,
Relent, O heart of stone, relent!
Accept the offered sacrifice,
And of thy sins at once repent. [Chorus]
