Come Unto Me

LYRICS:
(English) Are you down and feeling lonely,
are you weary and oppressed,
you don’t have to be discouraged,
Jesus says: “Come unto me”
(Igbo) “Bia, biakwute m, bia, biakwute m,
(English) come, you who are weary, and I will give you rest.
(Igbo) Bia, biakwute m, bia, biakwute m,
(English) come, you who are burdened, and I will give you rest.”
(Spanish) Dile a todos los cansados:
Cristo es un amigo fiel,
firme apoyo y tierno guía,
hallarás descanso en él.
(French) “Venez, venez á moi, venez, venez a moi,
mon joug est léger, vous trou v’rez du repos.”
Venez, venez á moi, venez, venez a moi,
las, chargé et accablé, vous trou v’rez du repos.”
