<p>Dix wrote of this hymn:</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>I was ill and depressed at the time, and it was almost to idle away the hours that I wrote the hymn. I had been ill for many weeks and felt weary and faint, and the hymn really expresses the languidness of body from which I was suffering at the time. Soon after its composition I recovered, and I always look back to that hymn as the turning point in my illness.</p>

<p>“Come unto Me, ye weary, and I will give you rest.”<br>
|
|
O blessèd voice of Jesus, which comes to hearts oppressed!<br>
|
|
It tells of benediction, of pardon, grace and peace,<br>
|
|
Of joy that hath no ending, of love which cannot cease.</p>
|
|
<p>“Come unto Me, dear children, and I will give you light.”<br>
|
|
O loving voice of Jesus, which comes to cheer the night!<br>
|
|
Our hearts are filled with sadness, and we had lost our way;<br>
|
|
But He hath brought us gladness and songs at break of day.</p>
|
|
<p>“Come unto Me, ye fainting, and I will give you life.”<br>
|
|
O cheering voice of Jesus, which comes to aid our strife!<br>
|
|
The foe is stern and eager, the fight is fierce and long;<br>
|
|
But Thou hast made us mighty and stronger than the strong.</p>
|
|
<p>“And whosoever cometh I will not cast him out.”<br>
|
|
O welcome voice of Jesus, which drives away our doubt,<br>
|
|
Which calls us, very sinners, unworthy though we be<br>
|
|
Of love so free and boundless, to come, dear Lord, to Thee.</p>
