Come Unto Me.

By S. E. L.

"Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." Matt. xi, 28.
"Come unto me" O weary soul, When waves of sorrow o'er thee roll; Cast down; on every side distressed, "Come unto me," I'll give you rest.
When in temptation's darkest hour, Surrounded by the tempter's power, No earthly friend to soothe thy grief : "Come unto me" and find relief.
When wearied with the cares of earth, Its bitter woe and foolish mirth, Oh, then retire and bow the knee, The Saviour saith, "Come unto me."
Repenting soul, O go to Him, When wearied with thine own deep sin, His life for you he freely gave, Doubt not his willingness to save.
His easy yoke upon you take, Cheerful endure for His dear sake, Begin the work of close reform, And resolutely labor on.
O weak and weary soul, be strong, Our conflicts sore, will not be long, If faithful by and by we'll win A crown of life and reign with Him. S. E. L. New Haven, N. Y., Jan. 20, 1866.
