Come unto Me (Norton)

Come un­to Me

it is the Sav­ior’s voice

The Lord of life

who bids thy heart re­joice;

O wea­ry heart

with hea­vy cares op­pressed

Come un­to Me

and I will give you rest.

Come un­to Me

come un­to Me

Come un­to Me

and I will give you rest

I will give you rest

I will give you rest.

Weary with life’s long strug­gle full of pain

O doubt­ing soul

thy Sav­ior calls again;

Thy doubts shall van­ish and thy sor­rows cease

Come un­to Me

and I will give you peace.

Oh

dy­ing man

with guilt and sin dis­mayed

With con­science wa­kened

of thy God afraid;

Twixt hopes and fears—oh end the anx­ious strife

Come un­to Me

and I will give you life.

Rest

peace and life

the flow­ers of death­less bloom

The Sav­ior gives us

not be­yond the tomb—

But here

and now

on earth

some glimpse is giv’n

Of joys which wait us thro’ the gates of Heav’n.
