CGS Lyrics
Verse 1
"Come unto Me, ye weary,
And I will give you rest."
Oh, blessed voice of Jesus,
Which comes to hearts oppress'd!
It tells of benediction,
Of pardon, grace, and peace,
Of joy that hath no ending,
Of love which cannot cease
Verse 2
"Come unto Me, dear children,
And I will give you light"
Oh, loving voice of Jesus,
Which comes to cheer the night!
Our hearts were fill'd with sadness,
And we had lost our way,
But morning brings us gladness,
And songs the break of day
Verse 3
"Come unto Me,ye fainting,
And I will give you life"
Oh, peaceful voice of Jesus,
Which comes to end our strife:
The foe is stern and eager,
The fight is fierce and long,
But Thou hast made us mighty,
And stronger than the strong
Verse 4
"And whosoever cometh,
I will not cease him out"
Oh, patient voice of Jesus,
Which drives away our doubt;
Which calls us, very sinners,
Unworthy though we be
Of love so free and boundless,
To come, dear Lord, to Thee
"Come unto Me, ye weary,
And I will give you rest."
Oh, blessed voice of Jesus,
Which comes to hearts oppress'd!
It tells of benediction,
Of pardon, grace, and peace,
Of joy that hath no ending,
Of love which cannot cease
Verse 2
"Come unto Me, dear children,
And I will give you light"
Oh, loving voice of Jesus,
Which comes to cheer the night!
Our hearts were fill'd with sadness,
And we had lost our way,
But morning brings us gladness,
And songs the break of day
Verse 3
"Come unto Me,ye fainting,
And I will give you life"
Oh, peaceful voice of Jesus,
Which comes to end our strife:
The foe is stern and eager,
The fight is fierce and long,
But Thou hast made us mighty,
And stronger than the strong
Verse 4
"And whosoever cometh,
I will not cease him out"
Oh, patient voice of Jesus,
Which drives away our doubt;
Which calls us, very sinners,
Unworthy though we be
Of love so free and boundless,
To come, dear Lord, to Thee
