Come unto me, says Jesus Christ,
With all your guilt and shame;
I’ll take you and I’ll pay the price,
I’ll take away your blame.
Come unto Me, says Jesus Christ,
Come, come just as you are;
All worn, all sad, by sin depressed,
I’ll grace to you impart.
Come unto me, says Jesus Christ,
And learn from Me God’s way;
I’m meek and lowly, pure and chaste,
And for your sin will pay.
Come unto me, says Jesus Christ,
Come with your load of sin;
I’ll give my love, and heaven’s Guest,
Come now! and enter in.
(Tune: Martyrdom; Richmond; CM)
