Come unto Me, all you heavily burdened ones!
Come unto Me, all you weary ones, come!
The home is all waiting that I have prepared for you,
All through the years while I waited and cared for you,
And now I am waiting to welcome you home.
Come to Me! Come to Me! Come to Me! Come!
And you shall find rest for your souls!

Have I not borne greater burdens of sorrow?
Have I not known what it was to be lonely?
Lean on me now for to-day and to-morrow,
Trust in Me wholly, and trust in Me only! --
And you shall find rest for your souls!

Here for your sorrow is healing and gladness,
Give Me your burden, and take you another's,
So shall you rid you of all your own sadness,
Healing your own wound by healing your brother's,
And you shall find rest for your souls!
