Hymn 80
L.M.
1. Come hither, all ye weary souls,
Ye heavy-laden sinners, come;
I'll give you rest from all your toils,
And raise you to my heavenly home.

2. They shall find rest that learn of me;
I'm of a meek and lowly mind;
But passion rages like the sea,
And pride is restless as the wind.

3. Blessed is the man whose shoulders take
My yoke, and bear it with delight;
My yoke is easy to his neck,
My grace shall make the burden light.

4. Then, Lord, we humbly venture near,
By unbelief and guilt opprest;
Henceforth thine easy yoke we'll bear,
And seek in Thee the promised rest.
