The Weary and Heavy-Laden.
1 Come to Jesus, O my brothers,
Come in this accepted hour;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity, love, and power;
He is able,
He is willing,--doubt no more.
2 Let not conscience make you linger,
Nor of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness he requireth
Is to feel your need of him;
This he gives you,--
'Tis the spirit's struggling beam.
3 Come, ye weary, heavy laden;
Wait not,--'tis your Saviour's call;
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all.
Not the righteous,
Sinners, Jesus came to call.

2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,
Hope, when all others die, fadeless and pure,
Here speaks the Comforter, in God's name saying,
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure.
3 Here see the bread of life; see waters flowing
Forth from the throne of God, living and pure;
Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure.

And met, O Jesus! in thy name,
So in thy name we part.
2 Nearer to thee our spirits lead,

Till thou hast made us free indeed,
And spotless, here below.
3 When to the right or left we stray,
Leave us not comfortless,
But guide our feet into the way
Of everlasting peace.
164. 6 & 10s. M. Briggs' Coll.
Benediction.
1 The peace which God bestows
Through him who died and rose,
The peace the Father giveth through the Son,
Be known in every mind,
The broken heart to bind,
