Author: Rev. H. B. Hartzler Hymnal: The Evergreen #110 (1873) First Line: I am weary with my toiling Lyrics: 1 I am weary with my toiling
In the vineyard all the day,
Vainly seeking germs of promise
Patient labor to repay.
Paul may plant, Apollos water,
Fruitless still the work must be,
I would trust no unblessed labor,
Speak a word to God for me,
Speak a word to God for me.
2 Foes and snares are all around me,
Darkness falls upon my way,
And my heart is faint with waiting
For the tokens of the day.
Words of cheer — I hear you speak them,
Hands of help outstretched I see;
But no hand of man may save me,
Speak a word to God for me,
Speak a word to God for me.
3 When the light breaks full upon thee,
And thy soul is all aflame,
When thy faith, in holy daring,
All the promises can claim,
Throw the arms of thy petition
In a strong, availing plea,
Round a weary, needy toiler,
Speak a word to God for me,
Speak a word to God for me. Languages: English Tune Title: [I am weary with my toiling]
