1.Weary of earth and laden with my sin,I look to heav'n and long to enter in;But there no evil thing may find a home:And yet I hear a voice that bids me "Come."2.The while I fain would tread the heav'nly way,Evil is ever with me day by day;Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall,"Repent, return, thou shalt be loos'd from all."3.Cease, restless will! thy lonely strife resign!I know too well how little strength is mine;Grant me, dear Lord, thy saving love to see:I strive no more, I give myself to thee.
