Lyrics
Come, let us reason together
There is something I want you to know
Though your sins be as scarlet and crimson
I will wash you as white as the snow
CRS:
Come to Me, Come to Me
All who are weary come
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light
And your soul will find rest in Me
Come, every one who is thirsty
Come, every one who will
Come as you are to the River of Life
Where your soul can drink its fill
And at the end of the journey
When life on earth is done
I know that my joy will be complete
When I hear my Lord say, "Come."
