I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Come unto me and rest; lay down, O weary one, lay down your head upon my breast.”

I came to Jesus as I was, so weary, worn, and sad; I found in him a resting place, and he has made me glad.

— Horatius Bonar (1808–1899)

—

O man, thy grievous sin bemoan, For which Christ left His Father’s throne, From highest heaven descending. Of Virgin pure and undefiled He here was born, our Savior mild, For sin to make atonement. The dead He raised to life again. The sick He freed from grief and pain. Until the time appointed That He for us should give His Blood, Should bear our sins’ o’erwhelming load, The shameful Cross enduring.

Now the green blade riseth, from the buried grain, Wheat that in dark earth many days has lain; Love lives again, that with the dead has been: Love is come again like wheat that springeth green.
