English text

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  Is there 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 his guerdon 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 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? Angels, martyrs, saints, and prophets Answer, Yes!
