Come unto me
Come all ye weary. I will give you restThe rest for all my Father's love prepares
Come and in me and him be wholly blest
And I will free you from the world of cares
For I am meek and lowly learn of me
And you shall find in me the promised peace
Come learn of me though blind your eyes shall see
And every joy I give shall never cease
The marriage feast is ready hasten in
For those who tarry shall their lateness mourn
Come and your robes I'll wash from every sin
And in my arms shall every son be borne
Till freed from every danger he shall be
A child of light and all my glory see.
Poem No. 88; fall 1838–summer 1839
