A Poem on Matthew 11:28-30

“Come, follow me”, ‘tis Jesus speaks,

In loving tones so clear.

“Come follow me, without delay,

I long to have you near.”

With me, you say, with one like me?

“Yes, one like you”, says He.

“The healthy I came not to save

But sin sick souls like thee.”

“Come unto me dear labouring soul,

The burden is too great.

Just bring to me your burdens all,

And I will bear the weight.”

“In Me you’ll find a blesséd rest,

Though troubles you surround,

A peace and joy beyond compare,

In Me is to be found.”

“The yoke we’ll share, it easy is,

My burden it is light,

I’ll lead the way and joined to me,

We’ll travel through the night.”

“Then when that glorious dawn breaks through,

And I shall call you home,

Ah then with joy unspeakable,

You’ll worship at my throne.”
