Author: John Mason Neale (1818-66); Stephen the Sabaite (725-94) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #228 (1986) Lyrics: 1 Art thou weary, art thou languid,
Art 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 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 my portion here?
Many a sorrow, many a labour,
Many a tear.
5 If I still hold closely to him,
What hath he at last?
Sorrow vanquished, labour 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.
