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.

CCLI Song #7180983
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.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
The living water, thirsty one;
Stoop down and drink and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in Him.
