Author: James Rowe Hymnal: Glorious Praise #113 (1904) First Line: Are you weary? do you grieve? Lyrics: 1 Are you weary? do you grieve? Whisper it to Jesus, whisper it to Jesus; He is waiting to relive, Whisper it, whisper it to Jesus. Heart, by worldly cares distressed, He will take you to his breast, Comfort you and give you rest, Whisper it, whisper it to Jesus. 2 Can you not your burdens bear? Whisper it to Jesus, whisper it to Jesus; Ere it sinks you in despair, Whisper it, whisper it to Jesus. Do not struggle on alone; He will always help his own; Only make your weakness known, Whisper it, whisper it to Jesus. 3 Are you lost in sin’s dark night? Whisper it to Jesus, whisper it to Jesus; He will quickly give you light; Whisper it, whisper it to Jesus. Let your soul no longer stray; Jesus is the Perfect Way; He will change your night to day, Whisper it, whisper it to Jesus. Languages: English Tune Title: [Are you weary? do you grieve?]

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Are you weary? do you grieve?]" in Glorious Praise William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia.

Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
