Come, come ye that labor,
And heavy burdens bear;
Come, come to the Savior,
On Him cast all your care;
He will surely save you,
He will surely bless;
Come, come to the Savior,
And He will give you rest.
Refrain
Come, come to the Savior;
Come, come to the Savior;
Come, come to the Savior,
And He will give you rest.
Hear, ye that have sorrow,
And have no hope below;
Hope, hope, ye may borrow
And rest from every woe;
Jesus waits to comfort
Those who truly mourn;
Come, come to the Savior,
He all your sins hath borne.
Refrain
List, list, little children,
To Him who bids you come;
The Savior will take you
To His eternal home;
He, He will sustain you
With His mighty hand,
And safely will lead you
Home to His bright land.
Refrain
