COME TO ME ALL YOU WHO LABOUR

“Come to me all your who labour;

come, and I will give you rest.”

So we hear your invitation

to each soul to be your guest;

and we answer with deep longing,

while our sinfulness we see,

“Jesus, Lord, I am not worthy,

yet in mercy come to me.”

COME TO ME ALL YOU WHO LABOUR

Here, among your pilgrim people

is the home of your true love,

Where we praise you, Lord and Master reigning from your throne above;

Life without you would be lonely,

so our prayer must ever be:

“Jesus, Lord, I am not worthy,

yet in mercy come to me.”

COME TO ME ALL YOU WHO LABOUR

All is joy when you are with us,

earth can never joy impart

like the peace and holy splendour

of your visit to each heart;

All forgotten grief and sorrow,

as with trust we make our plea,

“Jesus, Lord, I am not worthy,

yet in mercy come to me.”
