Hymns of the Lutheran Church

515 Come, ye weary sinners, come

1 Come, ye weary sinners, come, All who feel your heavy load; Jesus calls His wanderers home; Hasten to your pardoning God. 2 Come, ye guilty souls oppressed, Answer to the Savior's call: "Come, and I will give you rest, Come, and I will save you all." 3 Jesus, full of truth and love, We Thy gracious call obey; Faithful let Thy mercies prove, Take our load of guilt away. 4 Fain we would on Thee rely, Cast on Thee our sin and care: To Thine arms of mercy fly, Find our lasting quiet there. 5 Lo, we come to Thee for ease: True and gracious as Thou art, Now our weary souls release, Write forgiveness on our heart.
