Come to Christ.
Come, bowed with grief and sick of sin,
The cross was stained for thee;
Come weary, rest and peace to find,
Come blind, and thou shalt see.
The cross was stained for thee;
Come weary, rest and peace to find,
Come blind, and thou shalt see.
Come boldly, guilty as thou art,
God will not spurn thy prayer;
Come, cast thy burdens at His feet,
And leave thy sorrows there.
God will not spurn thy prayer;
Come, cast thy burdens at His feet,
And leave thy sorrows there.
Come as thou art; no deeds of thine
Can take thy sins away;
Thy troubled soul before the cross,
Loving and trusting, lay.
Can take thy sins away;
Thy troubled soul before the cross,
Loving and trusting, lay.
Come, freely come, nor longer choose
On restless wing to roam;
Enter at once the friendly ark,
And find a welcome home.
On restless wing to roam;
Enter at once the friendly ark,
And find a welcome home.
S. F. Smith
