�Come,� said Jesus� sacred voice,
�Come, and make My paths your choice;
I will guide you to your home,
Weary pilgrim, hither come.
�Thou who, houseless, sole, forlorn,
Long hast borne the proud world�s scorn,
Long hast roamed the barren waste,
Weary pilgrim, hither haste.
�Ye who, tossed on beds of pain,
Seek for ease, but seek in vain;
Ye, who swollen and sleepless eyes,
Watch to see the morning rise.
Ye, by fiercer anguish torn,
In remorse for guilt who mourn,
Here repose your heavy care:
A wounded spirit who can bear?
Sinner come, for here is found
Balm that flows for every wound,
Peace that ever shall endure,
Rest eternal, sacred, sure.
---Alternative verses---
�Come,� said Jesus� sacred voice,
�Come, and make My paths your choice;
I will guide you to your home,
Weary wanderer, hither come.
�Thou who, homeless and forlorn,
Long hast borne the proud world�s scorn,
Long hast roamed the barren waste,
Weary wanderer, hither haste.
�Ye who, tossed on beds of pain,
Seek for ease, but seek in vain;
Ye, by fiercer anguish torn,
In remorse for guilt who mourn.
�Hither come, for here is found
Balm that flows for every wound,
Peace that ever shall endure,
Rest eternal, sacred, sure.�
