Come unto Me (Jones)

Composer: Charles Jones, 1908

Hear the bless­èd Sav­ior

Calling the op­pressed

O ye hea­vy la­den

Come to Me and rest.

Come

no long­er tar­ry

I your load will bear

Bring Me ev­ery bur­den

Bring Me ev­ery care.

Come un­to Me

I will give you rest;

Take My yoke up­on you

Hear Me and be blessed.

I am meek and low­ly

Come and trust My might.

Come

My yoke is ea­sy

And My bur­den’s light.

Are you dis­ap­point­ed

Wandering here and there

Dragging chains of doubt

And load­ed down with care?

Do un­ho­ly feel­ings

Struggle in your breast?

Bring your case to Je­sus—

He will give you rest.

Stumbling on the mount­ains

Dark with sin and shame

Stumbling to­ward the pit

Of hell’s con­sum­ing flame.

By the pow­ers of sin

Deluded and op­pressed

Hear the ten­der Shep­herd

Come to Me and rest.

Have you by temp­ta­tion

Often con­quered been

Has a sense of weak­ness

Brought dis­tress with­in?

Christ will sanc­ti­fy you

If you’ll claim His best.

In the Ho­ly Spir­it

He will give you rest.
