251. Come! said Jesus' sacred voice!

1 Come! said Jesus' sacred voice!
Come, and make my paths your choice,
I will guide you to your home;
Weary pilgrim, hither come.

Chorus:
There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for you--
On the other side of Jordan,
In the sweet fields of Eden,
Where the tree of life is blooming,
There is rest for you.

2 Hither come, for here is found
Balm that flows for every wound;
Peace that ever shall endure,
Rest eternal, sacred, sure. [Chorus]
