Come Close to the Savior
VERSE 1
Come close
to the Savior, thy loving Redeemer,
O
sorrowing heart oppressed (sorely oppressed);
Life’s
journey is dreary, thy spirit is weary;
O come
unto Him and rest.
Come
close to the Savior, O why dost thou linger?
He
knoweth thy heart oppressed (sorely oppressed).
His
promise believing, His message receiving,
O come
unto Him and rest.
Reff
Peacefully,
tranquilly, tenderly rest,
Folding
thy wings like a dove,
Peacefully,
tranquilly, tenderly rest,
Safe in
the arms of His love.
VERSE 2
Come
close to the Savior, He calleth thee gently,
Draw
near to thy Father’s throne (thy Father’s throne);
His eyes
will behold thee, His mercy enfold thee,
Why
carry thy grief alone?
Come
close to the Savior, O trust and remember,
Thro’
trials our souls are blest (richly are blest).
Whatever
betide thee, thy Refuge will hide thee,
O come
unto Him and rest.
VERSE 3
Come
close to the Savior, earth’s pleasures are fleeting,
But
Jesus will care for thee (He’ll care for thee);
Whatever
may grieve thee, He never will leave thee,
Thy
strength as thy day shall be.
Come
close to the Savior, O come as a birdling
Flies
back to its parent nest (flies to its nest).
Where
peace like a river, flows onward forever,
O come
unto Him and rest.
