Lyrics

Come with all thy sorrow,
Weary wandering soul!
Come to Him who loves thee—
He will make thee whole.

Refrain

There is rest in Je­sus,
Sweet, sweet rest;
There is rest in Je­sus,
Sweet, sweet rest.

He, thy strength in weakness,
Will thy refuge be;
Cast on Him thy bur­den—
He will care for thee.

Refrain

Come in faith be­liev­ing,
To His will resigned;
Ask, and He will give thee;
Seek, and thou shalt find.

Refrain

See the door of mercy!
Wouldst thou enter there?
Knock, and He will open;
Lo! the key is prayer.
