lyrics

Come, ye souls by sin afflicted,
Bowed with fruitless sorrow down
By the broken law convicted
Through the cross behold the crown
Look to Jesus—mercy flows through Him alone

Take His easy yoke and wear it
Love will make obedience sweet
Christ will give you strength to bear it,
While His wisdom guides your feet
Safe to glory, where His ransomed captives meet

Blessed are the eyes that see Him,
Blest the ears that hear His voice
Blessed are the souls that trust Him,
And in Him alone rejoice
His commandments then become their happy choice

Sweet as home to pilgrims weary,
Light to newly opened eyes
Or full springs in deserts dreary
Is the rest the cross supplies
All who taste it shall to rest immortal rise
