Art Thou Weary, Art Thou Languid
"This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest." - Isa 28:12
VERSE 1
Art thou weary, art thou languid,
Art thou sore distressed?
Come to Me, saith One, and, coming,
Be at rest!
VERSE 2
Hath He marks to lead me to Him,
If He be my guide?
In His feet and hands are wound-prints,
And His side.
VERSE 3
Hath He diadem as Monarch
That His brow adorns?
Yea, a crown in very surety,
But of thorns!
VERSE 4
If I find Him, if I follow,
What His guerdon here?
Many a sorrow, many a labour,
Many a tear.
VERSE 5
If I still hold closely to Him,
What hath He at last?
Sorrow vanquished, labour ended,
Jordan past.
VERSE 6
If I still hold closely to Him,
What hath He at last?
Sorrow vanquished, labour ended,
Jordan past.
VERSE 7
Finding, following, cleaving, trusting,
Is He sure to bless?
Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs,
Answer: Yes!
