Jesus Is Waiting To Welcome The Weary

Jesus is waiting to welcome the weary,

Worn with the world's fruitless striving for peace;

Tired with a night-watch that knoweth no morning,

Sick with a heartache that earth cannot ease.

Refrain

Jesus is seeking; Jesus is calling;

Will you not come to Him now?

Jesus is knocking; Jesus is waiting,

Waiting to save you now.

Jesus is waiting, He standeth and knocketh,

Calling in love unto each one oppressed?

"Come unto Me, sinner, weary and laden;

I will receive you and give you My rest.

Refrain

"Will you not come? you need no preparation;

Stay not to think, but come just as you are.

Bring nothing with you, for love giveth freely,

Peace-perfect peace-that no sorrow can mar.

Refrain

"O, I am yearning to see you unburdened;

Death did I suffer that you might be free.

Will you not come, and by life consecration,

Try to win others, and bring them to Me?"
