Lyrics

Come with all thy sor­row,
Weary wan­der­ing soul!
Come to Him who loves thee—
He will make thee whole.

Refrain

There is rest in Je­sus,
Sweet, sweet rest;
There is rest in Je­sus,
Sweet, sweet rest.

He, thy strength in weak­ness,
Will thy re­fuge be;
Cast on Him thy bur­den—
He will care for thee.

Refrain

Come in faith be­liev­ing,
To His will re­signed;
Ask, and He will give thee;
Seek, and thou shalt find.

Refrain

See the door of mercy!
Wouldst thou en­ter there?
Knock, and He will open;
Lo! the key is pray­er.
