Representative Text

1 Come unto Me, ye weary,
Sorrowing ones oppressd;
I am your tender Shepherd,
Waiting to give you rest.

Chorus:
Come, come, come unto Me,
Weary and sore distressed;
Come, come, come unto Me,
Come unto Me and rest.

2 Come unto Me, ye weary,
List to the voice so dear,
Sweeter than angel music,
Falling upon the ear. [Chorus]

3 Come unto Me, ye weary,
List to that voice again,
Over the barren mountain,
Over the lonely plain. [Chorus]

4 Come unto Me, ye weary;
Why will ye longer roam?
Come to the arms of mercy,
Come to a Father's home. [Chorus]
