Verse 1
All you that are weary and sad, come,
And you that are cheerful and glad, come;
In robes of humility clad, come;
The Saviour invites you to-day.
In robes of humility, come to-day.
Verse 1
Acquaint thyself quickly, O sinner, with God;
And joy, like the sunshine, shall beam on thy road;
And peace, like the dewdrop, shall fall on thy head;
And sleep, like an angel, shall visit thy bed.
Verse 2
Acquaint thyself quickly, O sinner, with God;
And joy, like the sunshine, shall beam on thy road;
And peace, like the dewdrop, shall fall on thy head;
And sleep, like an angel, shall visit thy bed.
Verse 2
Acquaint thyself quickly, O sinner, with God;
And he shall be with thee when fears are abroad;
Thy Safeguard in danger that threatens thy path,
Thy joy in the valley and shadow of death.
