Listen to the Blessèd Invitation

Listen to the bless­èd in­vi­ta­tion

Sweeter than the notes of an­gel song

Chiming soft­ly with a heav’n­ly ca­dence

Calling to the pass­ing throng.

Him that com­eth un­to Me.

Him that com­eth un­to Me

Him that com­eth un­to Me

I will not ev­er cast out.

Weary toil­er

sad and hea­vy-la­den

Joyfully the great sal­va­tion see;

Close be­side thee stands the Bur­den Bear­er

Strong to bear thy load and thee.

Come

ye thirs­ty

to the liv­ing wa­ters

Hungry

come and on His boun­ty feed;

Not thy fit­ness is the plea to bring Him

But thy press­ing ut­most need.

Him that com­eth

blind or maimed or sin­ful

Coming for His heal­ing touch di­vine

For the cleans­ing of the blood so pre­cious

Prove anew this gra­cious line.

Coming hum­bly

dai­ly to this Sav­ior

Breathing all the heart to Him in pray­er;

Coming some day to the heav’n­ly man­sions

He will give thee wel­come there.
