Jesus Will Give You Rest
Words: Fanny J. Crosby
Music: Jno. R. Sweney
Hymn #:182

 
 

Will you come, will you come,
with your poor broken heart,
Burden'd and sin oppress'd?
Lay it down at the feet of your Savior and Lord

Refrain
Jesus will give you rest,
Oh, happy rest, sweet, happy rest!
Jesus will give you rest, happy rest,
Oh! why won't you come in simple, trusting faith
Jesus will give you rest.

Will you come, will you come?
there is mercy for you,
Balm for you aching breast;
Only come as you are, an believe on his name,

Will you come, will you come,
you have nothing to pay;
Jesus who loves you best,
By his death on the Cross purchas'd life for you soul,

Will you come, will you come?
how he pleads with you now!
Fly to his loving breast,
And whatever you sin or your sorrow may be.
