Come unto me by John Stafford Smith — Lyrics
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am lowly, meek and lowly in heart, take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
About Come unto me
The composer invites singers to explore the words of comfort and solace from the Gospel of Matthew. This SATB anthem, set in English, offers a profound musical reflection on Jesus' promise of rest to those burdened by life's labours. The music will surely guide the choir and congregation towards inner peace as the text unfolds. John Stafford Smith crafts a devotional setting, perfect for services seeking a message of gentle assurance and spiritual renewal. The choir will find ample opportunity to express the tenderness and strength inherent in this well-loved passage, making it a moving addition to any sacred programme.
