Jesus is merciful,
Free to forgive
All who will come to Him,
Humbly to live;
Sinful is everyone,
Both young and old;
Jesus invites us all,
Into His fold.
Refrain
Then let us trust in Him,
Free to forgive;
Let us all come to Him,
Humbly to live.
Then let us trust in Him,
Free to forgive;
Let us all come to Him,
Humbly to live.
Weary and faint are we,
Longing for rest;
Jesus says, Come to Me,
;
Lean on My breast
Lost in the wilderness,
All of us roam;
Jesus can lead us all
Lovingly home.
Refrain
