Text:Art thou weary, art thou languid
Tune:ART THOU WEARY?
Composer:H. W. Baker, Bart.

100. Art thou weary, art thou languid

1 Art thou weary, art thou languid,
Art thou sore distrest?
"Come to me" saith One, "and coming
Be at rest!"

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."

3 Hath He diadem as monarch
That His brow adorns?
"Yea, a crown, in very surety,
But of thorns!"

4 If I find Him, if I follow,
What His guerdon here?
"Many a sorrow, many a labor,
Many a tear."

5 If I still hold closely to Him,
What hath He at last?
"Sorrow vanquished, labor ended,
Jordan past."

6 If I ask Him to receive me,
Will He say me nay?
"Not till earth, and not till heaven
Pass away."
