Come close to the Savior
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.
Refrain
Peacefully, tranquilly, tenderly rest,
Folding thy
wings like a dove,
Peacefully, tranquilly, tenderly rest,
Safe in the arms of His love.
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.
Refrain
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.
Refrain
