Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
When we come to Jesu, we receive:
— Rest from our attempts to please God - Eph. 1:6 3.
— Calmness concerning our salvation - Rom. 8:16; 4.
— Quietness about our future - John 6:37; John 10:28; 5.
— Refreshment for our journey - Isa. 40:31
Come Unto Me
___________________
Hear the blessed Savior calling the oppressed, — “Oh, ye heavy-laden, come to Me and rest; — Come, no longer tarry, I your load will bear, — Bring Me every burden, bring Me every care.”
CHORUS:
Come unto Me, I will give you rest; — Take My yoke upon you, hear Me and be blest; — I am meek and lowly, come and trust My might; — Come, My yoke is easy, and My burden’s light.
Are you disappointed, wand’ring here and there, — Dragging chains of doubt and loaded down with care? — Do unholy feelings struggle in your breast? — Bring your cares to Jesus—He will give you rest.
Stumbling on the mountains dark with sin and shame, — Stumbling toward the pit of hell’s consuming flame; — By the pow’rs of sin deluded and oppressed, — Hear the tender Shepherd, “Come to Me and rest.”
Have you by temptation often conquered been, — Has a sense of weakness brought distress within? — Christ will sanctify you, if you’ll claim His best; — In the Holy Spirit, He will give you rest.
