Come Unto Me

By Allen Francis Gage

“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.”
O INVITATION sweet! O love divine! Which could to man such gracious word express; A royal welcome give to me and mine, A refuge sure, a quiet place of rest.
Ye weary, heavy-laden, sick, and sad, Ye wandering ones adrift in sin's dark night, Rejoice in hope, and in His grace be glad; He'll turn thy darkness into glorious light.
For pain he giveth pleasure, rest for strife; For weary, wearing labor, sweet sur- cease; For thy salvation he has spent his life; He offers to thee now his blessed peace.
For thee he yearns in pitying tenderness; He seeks to fill the longing of thy heart, To clothe thee with his own pure right- eousness — A satisfying portion to impart.
Reject not then his proffered love and grace; In him find what thy hungering soul hath craved; Look up into the glory of his face; Accept his invitation, and be saved.
