Greek HymnsArt Thou Weary?
A
Art thou sore distrest?
“Come to Me,” saith One, “and coming
Be at rest!”
If He be my Guide?
“In His Feet and Hands are wound-prints,
And His side.”
That His Brow adorns?
“Yea a Crown, in very surety,
But of thorns.”
What His guerdon here?
“Many a sorrow, many a labour,
Many a tear.”
What hath He at last?
“Sorrow vanquished, labour ended,
Jordan past.”
Will He say me nay?
“Not till earth, and not till Heav’n
Pass away.”
Is He sure to bless?
“Angels, Martyrs, Prophets, Virgins,
Answer, Yes!”
