57. Art Thou Weary, Art Thou Languid?

1 Art thou weary, art thou languid,
At thou sore distressed?
"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?
Yea, a crown, in very surety,
But of thorns.

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

5 Finding, foll'wing, keeping, struggling,
Is He sure to bless?
Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs,
Answer, "Yes."

Amen.
