287. Come Unto Me

1 O heart bowed down with sorrow!
O eyes that long for sight!
There's gladness in believing,
In Jesus there is light.

Chorus:
"Come unto me,
all ye that labor
and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you,
and learn of me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find rest unto your souls."

2 Earth's fleeting gain and pleasure
Can never satisfy:
'Tis love our joy doth measure,
For love can never die. [Chorus]

3 Divinest consolation
Doth Christ the Healer give;
Art thou in condemnation?
Believe, repent and live. [Chorus]

4 His peace is like a river,
His love is like a song;
His yoke's a burden never;
'Tis easy all day long. [Chorus]
