Come to Me PTG 197

This is a rather obscure Peter Kearney song from 1987 from the album Songs of the Lord’s Travellers, that was selected for the Praise to God parish hymn book.

It is a lovely restful tune, but I can’t find it on any of Kearney’s web sites, so if you want the sheet music it would be best to contact him directly, as I suspect all sources are out of print. I think it is just about my favourite song I have heard from him and it would be nice if he could post it on his Bandcamp site – I could take down the lyrics then!

For the moment you could sing a long with my backing:

1 Come all of you here who are weary,

Who are tired from the journey and long for rest;

Come to me all you weary ones,

And I will give you all the rest you need.

2 Come all of you who are worried,

Who are deep in your troubles and pressed for time;

Come to me all you worried ones,

And I will give you all the time you need.

3 Come all of you who are lonely,

Who are sealed in your living and search for love;

Come to me all you lonely ones,

And I will give you all the love you need.

4 Come all of you here who are falling,

Who are tied to your failings and fear each day;

Come to me all you falling ones,

And I will give you all the strength you need.

5 Come all of you here who are weary,

Who are tired from the journey and far from home;

Come to me all you travelling ones,

And I will give you all the home you need.
