Art thou weary, art thou languid
Art thou sore distressed?
"Come to Me," saith One, "and coming
Be at rest."
If I find Him, if I follow
What His guerdon here?
Many a sorrow, many a labor
Many a tear
If I still hold closely to Him
What hath He at last?
Sorrow vanquished, labor ended
Jordan passed
Finding Him, and foll'wing, keeping
Is He sure to bless?
Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs
Answer, Yes!
Alternate verses:
Hath He marks to lead me to Him
If He be my Guide?
In His feet and hands are wound prints
And His side
| |
Hath He diadem, as monarch
That His brow adorns?
Yes, a crown in very surety
But of thorns
If I ask Him to receive me
Will He say me nay?
Not till earth and not till heaven
Pass away
