Come unto Me, Ye Weary (Dix)

lyricist: William Dix, 1867
Composer: John Hullah, 1867

Come un­to Me

ye wea­ry

And I will give you rest.

O bless­èd voice of Je­sus

Which comes to hearts op­pressed!

It tells of be­ne­dict­ion

Of par­don

grace and peace

Of joy that hath no end­ing

Of love which can­not cease.

Come un­to Me

dear child­ren

And I will give you light.

O lov­ing voice of Je­sus

Which comes to cheer the night!

Our hearts are filled with sad­ness

And we had lost our way;

But He hath brought us glad­ness

And songs at break of day.

Come unto Me

ye faint­ing

And I will give you life.

O 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.

And who­so­ev­er com­eth

I will not cast him out.

O wel­come voice of Je­sus

Which drives away our doubt

Which calls us

ve­ry sin­ners

Unworthy though we be

Of love so free and bound­less

To come

dear Lord

to Thee.
