Hymn 197 COME UNTO ME Lyrics

1. Hear the blessed Saviour calling the oppressed,
“O ye heavy laden, come to me and rest;
Come, no longer tarry, I your Lord will bear
Bring Me ev’ry burden, bring Me ev’ry care”

Chorus:
Come unto me: ….. will give you rest;
Take my yoke upon you,
Hear… Me and be blest……
I… am meek and low-ly
Come…and trust My might
Come My yoke is easy and…. My burden’s light.

2. Are you disappointed, wand’ring here and there,
Dragging chains of doubt and loaded down with care?
Do unholy feelings struggle in your breast?
Bring your case to Jesus, He will give you rest,

3. Stumbling on the mountains dark with sin and shame,
Stumbling tow’rd the pit of hell’s consuming flame,
By the pow’rs of sin deluded and oppressed,
Hear the tender Shepherd “Come to Me and rest”

4. Have you by temptation often conquered been,
Has a sense of weakness brought distress within?
Christ will sanctify you, if you’ll claim His best,
In the Holy Spirit, He will give you rest.
