Come unto Jesus
Ye heavy laden
Careworn and fainting
By sin oppressed
He'll safely guide you
Unto that haven
Where all who trust in
Him may rest
Come unto Jesus
He'll ever heed you
Though in the darkness
You've gone astray
His love will find you
And gently lead you
From darkest night
Into day
Come unto Jesus
From ev'ry nation
From ev'ry land
And isle of the sea
Unto the high
And lowly in
station
Ever he calls
"Come unto me"
Come unto Jesus
Plead for his love
And know that angels
Are near you up above
Come unto Jesus
Ye heavy laden
Careworn and fainting
By sin oppressed
He'll safely guide you
Unto that haven
Where all who trust him
Where all who trust him
Where all who trust in
Him may rest
