Come Heavy Laden

Christ's love and mercy are inexhaustible!  All of the words of this great hymn below, written by William Williams who lived between  1717 and 1791, stir my heart.  However, the chorus is particularly glorious.  O Savior, that I would seek to know you more intimately.  Jesus is far greater than anything this fleeting and dying world could ever offer!

Come heavy laden, come and rest,
Your souls from fear and pain;
Jesus the God was crucified,
And died and rose again.

Chorus:
Sweet are His words, sweet is His voice
His smiles are heaven below;
Of all the pleasures in this world,
Tis Jesus I would know.

His holy yoke’s easy and smooth,
His burdens all are light;
In His commandments, though severe,
Is infinite delight.

O! would He raise my feeble soul,
To a celestial flame;
I would, for Jesus, either do,
Or suffer all the same.
