Go to Jesus (Brookings)

Go to Jesus with thy sor­rows

He thy bur­dened soul will ease;

He will give thy trou­bled con­sci­ence

A sweet sense of par­don­ing peace.

Go to Je­sus

go to Je­sus

Lean up­on His lov­ing breast;

Go to Je­sus

go to Je­sus

He will give thy spir­it rest.

Go to Je­sus with thy tri­als

Tell Him all thy cares and woes;

He has pro­mised

if we ask Him

He will give us sweet re­pose.

Go to Je­sus when the tempt­er

Seeks to lure thee from the right;

When the wick­ed one as­sails thee

Ever keep the cross in sight.

Go to Je­sus when thy bur­dens

Are too hard for thee to bear;

Tell Him all thy cares and sor­rows

He will lend a list­en­ing ear.

Go to Jesus when death’s sha­dows

Quickly ga­ther round thy way;

Ask of Him to guide thy foot­steps

To the realms of end­less day.

Then

in that ce­les­ti­al ci­ty

Thou shalt find a last­ing rest

From earth’s tur­moil

cares and sor­rows

With the saints for­ev­er blest.
