ENGLISH
1 Come, every soul by sin oppressed,
There's mercy with the Lord,
And he will surely give you rest
By trusting in his word.
Only trust him, only trust him,
Only trust him now;
He will save you, he will save you,
He will save you now.
2 For Jesus shed his precious blood
Rich blessings to bestow;
Plunge then into the crimson flood
That washes white as snow.

Ay makwu`tl ta skas lay ta sa-at-ses?
Aytchuh kwilalt ta skwaw-kwult kul see-ize?
C.M.T.
ENGLISH
1 Are you weary, are you heavy hearted?
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus;
Are you grieving over joys departed?
Tell it to Jesus alone.
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus,
He is a friend well known;
You have no other such a friend or brother,
Tell it to Jesus alone.
2 Do the tears flow down your cheeks unbidden?
Have you sins that to man's eyes are hidden?
3 Are you troubled at the thought of dying?
For Christ's coming kingdom are you sighing?
