Author: William C. Dix, 1837-98 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #345 (1982) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 "Come unto me, ye weary,
And I will give you rest."
O blessed voice of Jesus,
Which comes to hearts opprest!
It tells of benediction,
Of pardon, grace, and peace,
Of joy that hath no ending,
Of love that cannot cease.
2 "Come unto me, ye wand'rers,
And I will give you light."
0 loving voice of Jesus,
Which comes to cheer the night!
Our hearts were filled with sadness,
And we had lost our way;
But thou hast brought us gladness
And songs at break of day.
3 "Come unto me, ye fainting,
And I will give you life."
0 cheering voice of Jesus,
Which comes to aid 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.
4 "And whosoever cometh,
I will not cast him out."
O patient love of Jesus,
Which drives away our doubt,
Which, though we be unworthy
Of love so great and free,
Invites us very sinners
To come, dear Lord, to thee! Topics: The Gospel Call Languages: English Tune Title: ANTHES
