I.CXXVII. Christ's invitation to sinners, or, humility and pride

1 "Come hither, all ye weary souls,
"Ye heavy laden sinners come,
"I'll give you rest from all your toils,
"And raise you to my heav'nly home.

2 "They shall find rest who learn of me;
"I'm of a meek and lowly mind;
"But passion rages like the sea,
"And pride is wrestless as the wind.

3 "Blest is the man whose shoulders take
"My yoke, and bear it with delight;
"My yoke is easy to his neck,
"My grace shall make the burden light."

4 Jesus, we come at thy command;
With faith and hope, and humble zeal,
Resign our spirits to thy hand,
To moold and guide us at thy will.
