I. O come to the mer - ciful Saviour who calls you,

O come to the

Lord who for-gives and for-gets; Though dark be the for-tune

on earth that be

falls you, There's a bright-home a-bove where the sun never sets.

A - MEN.

2 O come then to Jesus, whose arms are extended
To fold His dear children in closest embrace;
O come, for your exile will shortly be ended,
And Jesus will show you His beautiful face.

3 Yes, come to the Saviour, whose mercy grows brighter
The longer you look at the depths of His love;
And fear not! 'tis Jesus, and life's cares grow lighter
As you think of the home and the glory above.

4 Come, come to His feet, and lay open your story
Of suffering and sorrow, of guilt and of shame;
For the pardon of sin is the crown of His glory,
And the joy of our Lord to be true to His name.

Frederick W. Faber

heart is weary and dis- tressed, Seek-ing for comfort from your heavenly

Fa

ther; Come un to Me, and I will give you rest.

A-MEN.

2 Ye who have mourned when the spring flowers were taken,
When the ripe fruit fell richly to the ground;

When the loved slept, in brighter homes to waken,

Where their pale brows with spirit-wreaths are crowned.

3 Large are the mansions in Thy Father's dwelling,
Glad are the homes that sorrows never dim;

Sweet are the harps in holy music swelling,

Soft are the tones which raise the heavenly hymn.

. 4 There, like an Eden blossoming in gladness,

Bloom the fair flowers the earth too rudely pressed;
Come unto Me all ye who droop in sadness,

Come unto Me, and I will give you rest.

Catherine H. Esling, 1839

Let the wa ter and the blood, From Thy riv

Be of sin the double cure, Cleanse me from its guilt and power. A-MEN.

And that Thou bid' st me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. A-MEN.
