Hymn XLVI. Long Metre. Weary Souls invited to Rest

Come, weary souls, with sin distress'd, Come and accept the promiss'd rest; The Saviour's gracious call obey, And cast your gloomy fears away.

Oppress'd with guilt, a painful load, O come, and spread your woes to God; Divine compassion, mighty love, Will all the painful load remove.

Here mercy's boundless ocean flows, To cleanse your guilt and heal your woes: Pardon and life and endless peace, How rich the gift, how free the grace!

Lord, we accept with thankful heart, The hope thy gracious words impart; We come with trembling; yet rejoice, And bless the kind inviting voice.

Great Saviour, let thy powerful love Confirm our faith, our fears remove; May that sweet influence in our breast, Prepare us for thy heavenly rest.
