Come Away From Rush And Hurry

C                       G

Come away from rush and hurry

F                    C

to the stillness of God's peace;

C                        G

from our vain ambition's worry,

F                     C

come to Christ to find release.

Am             F         Am

Come away from noise and clamor,

Am                 F       Am

life's demands and frenzied pace;

C                      G

come to join the people gathered

F                           C

here to seek and find God's face.



C                       G

In the pastures of God's goodness

F                       C

we lie down to rest our soul.

C                        G

From the waters of God's mercy

F                         C

we drink deeply, are made whole.

Am              F     Am

At the table of God's presence

Am                 F      Am

all the saints are richly fed.

C                     G

With the oil of God's anointing

F                   C

into service we are led.



C                               G

Come, then, children, with your burdens--

F                            C

life's confusions, fears and pain.

C                          G

Leave them at the cross of Jesus;

F                          C

take instead his kingdom's reign.

Am                       F      Am

Bring your thirsts, for he will quench them--

Am       F    Am

he alone will satisfy.

C                     G

All our longings find attainment

F                      C

when to self we gladly die.
