- 1Come hither, all ye weary souls,
- Ye heavy-laden sinners, come;
- I'll give you rest from all your toils,
- And raise you to my heavenly home.
- 2They shall find rest who learn of me;
- I'm of a meek and lowly mind;
- But passion rages like the sea,
- And pride is restless as the wind.
- 3Blest is the man whose shoulders take
- My yoke, and bear it with delight;
- My yoke is easy to his neck,
- My grace shall make the burden light.
- 4Jesus, we come at thy command,
- With faith, and hope, and humble zeal,
- Resign our spirits to thy hand,
- To mold and guide us at thy will.
