Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 18 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:25-30 Lyrics: 1 All you who seek a comfort sure
In sadness and distress,
Whatever sorrow burdens you,
Whatever griefs oppress:
When Jesus gave himself for us
And died upon the tree,
His heart was pierced for love of us;
He died to set us free.
2 Now hear him as he speaks to us
Those words for ever blest:
"All you who labor, come to me,
And I will give you rest."
O heart adored by saints on high,
And hope of sinners here,
We place our every trust in you
And lift to you our prayer. Topics: Sacred Heart; Ordinary Time 14, Year A; Sacred Heart; Pastoral Care of the Sick; Comfort; Jesus Christ; Labor; Praise; Trust Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD Text Sources: Latin, 18th C.
