ART THOU WEARY?
Adapted by Dawn Bornemann
Art thou weary,
Art thou languid,
Art thou sore distressed?
"Come to Me," Saith ONE,
"And, coming,
Be at rest."
Hath He marks to
Lead me to Him,
If He be my Guide?
In His feet and hands
Are wound-prints,
And in His side.
Is there diadem,
as a Monarch,
That His brow adorns?
Yes, a crown,
In very surety,
But one of thorns.
If I still hold
Closely to Him,
What hath He at last?
Sorrow vanquished,
Labor ended,
And Jordan passed.
If I ask Him,
To receive me,
Will He say me 'Nay'?
Not till Earth and
Not till Heaven
Both shall pass away.
Finding, following,
Keeping, struggling,
Is He sure to bless?
Saints, apostles,
Prophets, martyers
ALL answer, "YES!"
