O come to the rest God will give you

1.
O come to the rest God will give you.
O come where His saints dwell secure—
To the kingdom of heav’n, to the covenant,
And His Word that shall ever endure.
Chorus:
Come to the life-giving Fountain;
Let Jesus’ blood cleanse within.
Come to light shining clearly as noonday sun;
There be saved from deceit and from sin.
2.
O come where there’s fellowship blessed,
Where grace, peace, and mercy abound—
To the Spirit and blood of the covenant,
Where true bonds that are holy are found.
3.
O come, then, to Jesus; He calls you.
O see how your life ebbs away.
From the heavens the trumpet will soon be heard,
And we’ll meet Him in clouds on that day.
