1. When the weary, seeking rest
To Thy goodness flee
When the heavy-laden cast
All their load on Thee
When the troubled, seeking peace
On Thy name shall call
When the sinner, seeking life
At Thy feet shall fall
Chorus. Hear, then, in love, O Lord, the cry
In heav’n, Thy dwelling place on high
2. When the worldling, sick at heart
Lifts his soul above
When the prodigal looks back
To his Father’s love
When the proud man, from his pride
Stoops to seek Thy face
When the burden’d brings his guilt
To the throne of grace
3. When the stranger asks a home
All his toils to end
When the hungry craveth food
And the poor a friend
When the sailor on the wave
Bows the fervent knee
When the soldier on the field
Lifts his heart to Thee
