Come then to me, all ye who with guilt and fears oppress'd; Resign to me the willing heart, and I will give you rest.

the meek and lowly mind;
And thus your weary troubled souls
repose and peace shall find.

VII.

And Heaven's eternal grace reveal'd.

Let all partake the sacred draught;
Through latest ages let it
let it pour,

In mem❜ry of my dying hour.

From age to age his mercy lasts, and holy is his name.
