- 1O heart bowed down with sorrow!O eyes that long for sight!There's gladness in believing;In Jesus there is light.“Come unto Me,(“Come, O come, come unto Me,) all ye that labor(Come, o come, all ye that labor,) and are heavy laden,(Come, O come, laden souls,) and I will give you rest,(give you rest,)Take My yoke upon you,(Come, O come, Come, take My yoke,) and learn of Me;(come, O come, come, learn of Me;) for I am meek and lowly of heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”
- 2Divinest consolationDoth Christ the healer give;Art thou in condemnation?Believe, repent and live.“Come unto Me,(“Come, O come, come unto Me,) all ye that labor(Come, o come, all ye that labor,) and are heavy laden,(Come, O come, laden souls,) and I will give you rest,(give you rest,)Take My yoke upon you,(Come, O come, Come, take My yoke,) and learn of Me;(come, O come, come, learn of Me;) for I am meek and lowly of heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”
- 3His peace is like a river,His love is like a song;His yoke’s a burden never,“tis easy all day long.“Come unto Me,(“Come, O come, come unto Me,) all ye that labor(Come, o come, all ye that labor,) and are heavy laden,(Come, O come, laden souls,) and I will give you rest,(give you rest,)Take My yoke upon you,(Come, O come, Come, take My yoke,) and learn of Me;(come, O come, come, learn of Me;) for I am meek and lowly of heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”
