Come unto Me, Ye Weary

Author: William C. Dix, 1837-98 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #336 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: Invitation; Invitation Lyrics: 1 "Come unto me, ye weary, And I will give you rest." O blessed voice of Jesus, Which comes to hearts oppressed! It tells of benediction, Of pardon, grace, and peace, Of joy that has no ending, Of love that cannot cease. 2 "Come unto me, ye wand'rers, And I will give you light." O loving voice of Jesus, Which comes to cheer the night! Our hearts were filled with sadness, And we had lost our way; But thou hast brought us gladness And songs at break of day. 3 "Come unto me, ye fainting, And I will give you life." O cheering voice of Jesus, Which comes to aid our strife! The foe is stern and eager; The fight is fierce and long; But thou hast made us mighty And stronger than the strong. 4 "And whosoever cometh, I will not cast him out." O patient love of Jesus, Which drives away our doubt, Which, though we be unworthy Of love so great and free, Invites us very sinners To come, dear Lord, to thee!

Confess to the Father, white leaves are before. Chorus: Beautiful leaves from heav'n, Moment in mercy giv'n, New days of trial for him who grieves; One more probation hour, Promise of holy pow'r. What shall be written on life's new leaves? What shall be written on our white leaves? 2 Forgiven, forgotten, Christ covers from view, And strength for the future, gives daily anew; All offers He freely for thy sinful heart: This, this must be yielded, all, all, not a part. [Chorus] 3 Despondent one wounded by treacherous foe, In moment unguarded by sin smitten low; Defeated; yet never surrender Christ's name, Take courage and speak it, deliverance claim. [Chorus] 4 Then faithful in service, from hour unto hour, By full consecration draw fulness of pow'r; His oil of love burning gives out the true light, The life to Him yielded hath pages of white. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [White pages before us, thank God this is so]
