EVENING HYMN - COME UNTO ME

Hear the blessed Savior calling the oppressed, “Oh, ye heavy-laden, come to Me and
rest; Come, no longer tarry, I your load will bear, Bring Me every burden, bring Me every
care.”

REFRAIN

Are you disappointed, wand’ring here and there, Dragging chains of doubt and loaded
down with care? Do unholy feelings struggle in your breast? Bring your case to
Jesus—He will give you rest.

REFRAIN

Stumbling on the mountains dark with sin and shame, Stumbling toward the pit of hell’s
consuming flame; By the pow’rs of sin deluded and oppressed, Hear the tender Shepherd,
“Come to Me and rest.”

REFRAIN

Have you by temptation often conquered been, Has a sense of weakness brought distress
within? Christ will sanctify you, if you’ll claim His best; In the Holy Spirit, He will give
you rest.

Refrain: Come unto Me, I will give you rest; Take My yoke upon you, hear Me and be
blest; I am meek and lowly, come and trust My might; Come, My yoke is easy, and My
burden’s light.
