Weary, Lord, Of Struggling Here

Author: Anson D. F. Randolph Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10085 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Weary, Lord, of struggling here With this constant doubt and fear, Burdened by the pains I bear, And the trials I must share— Help me, Lord, again to flee To the rest that’s found in Thee. 2 Weakened by the wayward will Which controls, yet cheats me still; Seeking something undefined With an earnest, darkened mind— Help me, Lord again to flee To the light that breaks from Thee. 3 Fettered by this earthly scope In the reach and aim of hope, Fixing thought in narrow bound Where no living truth is found— Help me, Lord, again to flee To the hope that’s fixed in Thee. 4 Fettered, burdened, wearied, weak, Lord, once more Thy grace I seek; Turn, O turn me not away, Help me, Lord, to watch and pray— That I never more may flee From the rest that’s found in Thee.

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Weary, Lord, of struggling here" in Hymns for the Sanctuary and Social Worship In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
