-<poem>
-“Come hither, all ye weary souls,
-Ye heavy-laden sinners, come;
-I’ll give you rest from all your toils,
-And raise you to My heav’nly home.”
-Come to Jesus, come and welcome,
-come and welcome, sinners come.
-“They shall find rest that learn of Me;
-I’m of a meek and lowly mind;
-But passion rages like the sea,
-And pride is restless as the wind.”
-“Blessed is the man whose shoulders take
-My yoke, and bear it with delight;
-My yoke is easy to his neck,
-My grace shall make the burden light.”
-Jesus, we come at Thy command;
-With faith, and hope, and humble zeal,
-Resign our spirits to Thy hand,
-To mold and guide us at Thy will.
