1 "Come," said Jesus, "come apart now,
From the stern and busy day";
He who knows thy weary footsteps,
Calls thee to the desert way.
Refrain:
"Come, oh come to Me and rest,
Find My bosom soft and sweet;
Come to Me, and thou art blest,
In the desert’s lone retreat."
2 "Rest awhile," but not forever,
Back again with sharper sword;
Take the world-lost for thy Savior,
’Tis the promise of His word. [Refrain]
3 "Hearts of sorrow, turn aside,
Tears have told thy keenest grief;
Come, and now in Me abide,
And thy soul shall find relief." [Refrain]
4 Rest, sweet rest remains for you,
When the battle work is done;
Rest for loyal hearts and true,
When the crown of life is won. [Refrain]
