Come, saith Jesus' sacred voice,Come, and make my paths your choice:I will guide you to your home;Weary pilgrim, hither come.

Hither come; for here is foundBalm for every bleeding wound,Peace which ever shall endure,Rest, eternal, sacred, sure.

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «408» (large) in the left column of p. 132, under «Anon.» of hymn 407 (GRANNIS), with the italic reference line «720, 826, 339.» (= sing to the tunes of hymns 720, 826 or 339) beside the number; two stanzas, numbered «1» and «2»; «Anna L. Barbauld.» in italics after stanza 2. The first word «COME» is set in capitals and small capitals. In this hymn all four lines of each stanza are set flush (lines 2 and 4 are NOT indented, unlike the other hymns of the page). The print sets a thin space before «:» and «;» («choice :», «home ;»); it is closed up here. No meter is printed (the text is 7s, like the three tunes referred to). Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's.
