Full Lyrics
[SOLO, freely or some Sops/Altos]
Come weary one leave thy labors,
come lift thy head see thy Savior and Friend
His arms are open wide
O soul, be satisfied
come find his rest.
Take His yoke upon thee
for he is gentle and lowly in heart
So learn from Christ the Lord
thy portion and Reward
come find his rest.
[SA unis]
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
come weary one, leave thy labors,
come lift thy head see thy Savior and Friend.
His arms are opened wide
O soul be satisfied,
come find His rest.
Take his yoke upon thee
for he is gentle and lowly in heart.
So learn from Christ the Lord
thy portion and Reward,
come find His rest, come find His rest.
[CHOIR UNISON]
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"come unto me and rest
Lay down O weary one lay down your head upon my breast
I came to Jesus as I was so weary worn and sad
I found in Him a resting place and he has made me glad
[Solo freely (or some Sops/Altos)]
Take his yoke upon thee, for he is gentle and lowly in heart
So learn from Christ the Lord, thy portion and Reward
come find HIS rest
come unto me and rest.
Oh, come find his rest,
come. Come.
