Lyrics

Oh, come, sinner, come! ’tis mercy’s call;
Here at Je­sus’ feet!
Oh come, and, repenting, lay thy all
Down at Je­sus’ feet!

Refrain

Oh, lay it down! lay it down!
Lay thy weary bur­den down!
Oh, lay it down! lay it down,
Down at Je­sus’ feet!

Oh come, and, be­liev­ing, seek thy rest
Here at Je­sus’ feet!
Thy heart, with its heavy weight oppressed,
Lay at Je­sus’ feet!

Refrain

Oh come, where thy faith can make thee whole,
Here at Je­sus’ feet!
Oh come, and thy weary, troubled soul
Lay at Je­sus’ feet!

Refrain

Oh come! bless the Lord, there’s room for thee,
Here at Je­sus’ feet!
Thy bur­den of guilt, whate’er it be,
Lay at Je­sus feet!
