COME UNTO ME, by WILLIAM ARTHUR DUNKERLEY First Line: Come unto me, all you heavily burdened ones! Last Line: And you shall find rest for your souls! Alternate Author Name(s): Oxenham, John Subject(s): Religion; Theology | ||||||||
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! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY A NEW EARTH by WILLIAM ARTHUR DUNKERLEY |
