Author: T. M. Neale Hymnal: Living Hymns #233 (1890) First Line: Art thou weary, art thou languid Lyrics: 1 Art thou weary, art thou languid,
Art thou sore distress'd?
"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 Is there diadem, as monarch,
That his brow adorns?"
"Yes, 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." Languages: English Tune Title: [Art thou weary, art thou languid]
Art Thou Weary
