Lyrics

Are you bowed with grief and care?
Give your heart to Je­sus;
He will all your sorrows share,
Give your heart to Je­sus.

Refrain

Give your heart to Him today,
He will wash your sins away,
He who died on Cal­va­ry,
Waits to save both you and me.

Is your pathway dark and drear?
Give your heart to Je­sus;
He will bring the sunshine clear,
Give your heart to Je­sus.

Refrain

Come, O weary one, oppressed,
Give your heart to Je­sus;
He will give you peace and rest,
Give your heart to Je­sus.

Refrain

He will clasp you by the hand,
Give your heart to Je­sus;
Lead you to the heav’nly land,
Give your heart to Je­sus.
