Come Unto Me

Topics: classic

"Come unto me!" Ah, gentlest word     E'er breathed in human ear!     "I am thy Savior and thy Lord;     Dear child, thou need'st not fear.     "Come unto me in sorrow's hour     When life seems dark and drear;     I'll shield thee from the tempter's power;     Dear child, thou need'st not fear.     "Come unto me when hopes have flown     Like leaves wind-swept and sere,     When every joy thou may'st bemoan;     Dear child, thou need'st not fear.     "Come unto me. I'll give thee rest,     Will wipe away each tear;     Come lean thy head upon my breast;     Dear child, thou need'st not fear."
