Tune: St Peter

('How sweet the name of Jesus sounds')

Matthew 11 v.28-30

**********

Come to me weary, burdened souls

And I shall make you whole

Says Jesus to us, Come to me

Receive my peace freely

 

All you that labour and heavy

Laden in life you be

And I will give you comfort, rest

In me you shall be blest

 

Take my yoke upon you, and learn

From me, I meek, discern

You, and I be lowly in heart

Shall not from you depart

 

And you shall so find rest for your

Souls, it my promise sure

For my yoke is easy, and my

Burden is light, no lie

        Not sure if the comfort is Jesus, or the category, Erotic, but I'm feeling all spiritual now, your work is done.

          Thanks Paul. Oops, finger slipped. Erotic was above Spiritual in the list. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! lol.
