Full Lyrics
9. Hark! a voice from yonder manger,
Soft and sweet, doth entreat,
“Flee from woe and danger;
Brethren, come; from all that grieves you
You are freed; all you need
I will surely give you.”
10. Come, then, let us hasten yonder;
Here let all, great and small,
Kneel in awe and wonder,
Love Him Who with love is yearning;
Hail the star that from far
Bright with hope is burning.
11. Ye who pine in weary sadness,
Weep no more, for the door
Now is found of gladness.
Cling to Him, for He will guide you
Where no cross, pain or loss,
Can again betide you.
12. Hither come, ye heavyhearted;
Who for sin, deep within,
Long and sore have smarted;
For the poison'd wounds you're feeling
Help is near, One is here
Mighty for their healing!
13. Hither come, ye poor and wretched:
Know His will is to fill
Every hand outstretchèd;
Here are riches without measure,
Here forget all regret,
Fill your hearts with treasure.
14. Blessèd Saviour, let me find Thee!
Keep Thou me close to Thee,
Cast me not behind Thee!
Life of life, my heart Thou stillest,
Calm I rest on Thy breast,
All this void Thou fillest.
15. Thee, dear Lord, with heed I’ll cherish;
Live to Thee and with Thee,
Dying, shall not perish;
But shall dwell with Thee for ever,
Far on high, in the joy
That can alter never.
