VARIANT FORM OF THE PRECEDING" POEM
COME to me, all ye that labour; I will give your
spirits rest;
Here apart in starry quiet I will give you rest. Come to me, ye heavy laden, sin defiled and care
opprest, In your father's quiet mansions, soon to prove a
welcome guest. But an hour you bear your trial, sin and suffer, bleed
and die; But an hour you toil and combat here in day's inspiring
eye. See the feet of your deliverer; lo, the hour of freedom
nigh.
