Come unto Me, and Rest

lyricist: Daniel Whittle, 1881
Composer: James McGranahan

Brother

art thou worn and wea­ry

Tempted

tried

and sore op­pressed?

Listen to the word of Je­sus

Come un­to Me

and rest!

Come un­to Me

and rest!

Come un­to Me

and rest!

Come

ye wea­ry

hea­vy la­den

Come un­to Me

and rest!

Oh

He knows the dark fore­bod­ings

Of the con­science trou­bled breast

And to such His word is giv­en

Come un­to Me

and rest!

To the Lord bring all your bur­den

Put the pro­mise to the test;

Hear Him say

your Bur­den Bear­er

Come un­to Me

and rest!

If in sor­row thou art weep­ing

Grieving for the loved ones missed

Surely then to you He whis­pers

Come un­to Me

and rest!

Trust to Him for all thy fu­ture

He will give thee what is best;

Why then fear when He is say­ing

Come un­to Me

and rest!
