Song written by:
Original in Latin: Stephen of Mar Saba [Stephen the Sabaite] (725 AD, Damascus, Syria – 796 AD, Mar Saba)

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
Yes a crown in very surety
But of thorns

4
If I find Him if I follow
What His guerdon here
Many a sorrow many a labor
Many a tear

5
If I still hold closely to Him
What hath He at last
Sorrow vanquished labor ended
Jordan passed

6
If I ask Him to receive me
Will He say me nay
Not till earth and not till Heaven
Pass away

7
Finding following keeping struggling
Is He sure to bless
Saints apostles prophets martyrs
Answer Yes

Art Thou Weary Art Thou Languid [#ArtThouWearyArtThouLanguid #ArtThouWeary #ArtThoughLanguid #ThouWeary #ThouLanguid #ArtThou]
