Lyrics:
Come weary one, leave thy labors
Come lift thy head, see thy Savior and Friend
His arms are opened wide
O soul, be satisfied
Come find His rest
Take His yoke upon thee,
For He is gentle and lowly in heart
So learn from Christ the Lord –
Thy Portion and Reward.
Come find His rest

Come weary one, leave thy labors
Come lift thy head, see thy Savior and Friend
His arms are opened wide
O soul, be satisfied
Come find His rest
Take His yoke upon thee,
For He is gentle and lowly in heart
So learn from Christ the Lord –
Thy Portion and Reward.
Come find His rest

I heard the voice of Jesus say
"Come unto me and rest
Lay down, O weary one, lay down
Your head upon my breast."
I came to Jesus as I was,
So weary, worn, and sad;
I found in Him a resting place,
And He has made me glad

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
The living water, thirsty one
Stoop down and drink and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in Him
