I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
Words: J. Stuart Holden, in Alexander’s Gospel Songs No. 2, edited by Charles M. Alexander (New York: Fleming H. Revell, 1910), number 104.
Music: Robert Harkness (🔊 pdf nwc).
Somebody’s here with an aching heart,
No rest and no peace within;
Somebody’s here, and the teardrops start,
As God convicts of sin.
Refrain
Jesus will give you rest,
Jesus will give you rest;
Turn from your sin, call now on Him,
For Jesus will give you rest.
Somebody’s here with a burdened soul,
A heart that’s inclined to pray;
Seeking for cleansing, for peace and power,
To you doth the Spirit say:
Refrain
Somebody’s here whom the Lord doth seek,
That somebody may be you;
Come as you are, and make no delay,
And prove every promise true.
Refrain
Somebody’s waiting to hear the news,
The glorious Gospel sound;
Jesus has died to save all from sin;
Go tell it all around!
