Lyrics
Font size:
[1]
All you who seek a comfort sure
in trouble and distress,
whatever sorrow vex the mind
or guilt the soul oppress,
[2]
Jesus, who gave himself for you
upon the cross to die,
opens to you his sacred heart:
O, to that heart draw nigh.
[3]
You hear how kindly he invites,
you hear his words so blest:
'All you that labour, come to me,
and I will give you rest.'
[4]
What meeker than the Saviour's heart?
As on the cross he lay,
it did his murderers forgive
and for their pardon pray.
[5]
O Heart, thou joy of saints on high,
thou hope of sinners here!
Attracted by those loving words,
to thee I lift my prayer.
All you who seek a comfort sure

[3]

and I will give you rest.'

it did his murderers forgive
and for their pardon pray.
[5]
O Heart, thou joy of saints on high,
thou hope of sinners here!
Attracted by those loving words,
to thee I lift my prayer.
