Come unto Jesus, all you who are weary
Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel
Here bring your wounded hearts, broken and needy
Come unto Jesus, mighty to heal
Joy of the comfortless, Light for the straying
Hope of the penitent, Peace in our strife
Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying:
"My yoke is easy, my burden is light"
Come unto Jesus
Come unto Jesus
Lay down your burdens, He is enough
Come unto Jesus, rest in His love
Come taste the Bread of Life, broken for sinners
Drink from the cup of His promise made sure
Feast at His table as sons and as daughters
Grace overflowing is yours evermore
Come unto Jesus
Come unto Jesus
Lay down your burdens, He is enough
Come unto Jesus, rest in His love
Come now and follow Him, this life forsaking
All that was gain, count as nothing but loss
Trade all this world for His kingdom unfading
Come unto Jesus, take up your cross
Come unto Jesus, take up your cross
Life everlasting He offers to us
Come unto Jesus
Come unto Jesus
Lay down your burdens, He is enough
Come unto Jesus
Come unto Jesus
Lay down your burdens, He is enough
Come unto Jesus, rest in His love
Come unto Jesus
Come unto Jesus
Lay down your burdens, He is enough
Come unto Jesus, rest in His love
