[Come, weary souls, with toil and guilt oppress'd]

“The four comfortable words in the Communion Service.” Matt. xi. 28; John iii. 16; 1 Tim. i. 15; 1 John ii. 1.

Come, weary souls, with toil and guilt oppress'd,
Come unto me and I will give you rest.
Come; God so loved the world He freely gave
His own, His only Son the world to save.
Come; for I came from heaven at priceless cost
To seek the wanderer and redeem the lost.
Come then with all your sorrows sins and needs
To Me, whose lifeblood with your Father pleads.
