Hymn 284
Beautiful words of Jesus
- Beautiful words of Jesus,
Spoken so long ago.
Yet as we sing tliem over.
Dearer to us they grow.
Calling the heavy laden.
Calling to hearts oppressed,
" Come unto me, ye weary.
Come, I will give you rest."
Hear the call of His voice so sweet;
Bring your load to the Saviour's feet;
Lean your hearts on His loving breast
Come, O come, and He will give you rest.
- Beautiful words of Jesus,
Cheering us, day by day;
Throwing a gleam of sunshine
Over a cloudy way:
Casting on Him the burden
We are too weak to bear.
He will give grace sufficient.
He will regard our prayer.
- Beautiful words of Jesus,
Tokens of endless rest.
When, by and by, we enter
Into His presence blest;
There shall we see His beauty
Meet with Him face to face;
There shall we sing His glory.
Praising His matchless grace.
Christly Living
