Inviting.
Come, weary souls, with sin distressed,
Come and accept the promised rest;
The Saviour’s gracious call obey,
And cast your gloomy fears away.
2 Oppressed with guilt, a heavy load,
O! come and bow before your God;
Divine compassion, mighty love,
Will all the painful load remove.
3 Here mercy’s boundless ocean flows
To cleanse your guilt and heal your woes;
Pardon, and life, and endless peace—
How rich the gift, how free the grace!
4 Lord, we accept with thankful heart
The hope thy gracious words impart:
We come with trembling, yet rejoice,
And bless thy kind inviting voice.
Mrs. Steele.
