-{{Vs|1}} Art thou weary, art thou languid,
-Art thou sore distressed?
-'Come to Me,' saith One, 'and, coming,
-Be at rest.'
-{{Vs|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.
-{{Vs|3}} Is there diadem, as Monarch,
-That His brow adorns?
-Yea, a crown in very surety,
-But of thorns!
-{{Vs|4}} If I find Him, if I follow,
-What his guerdon here?
-Many a sorrow, many a labour,
-Many a tear!
-{{mdl}}
-{{Vs|5}} If I still hold closely to Him,
-What hath He at last?
-Sorrow vanquished, labour ended,
-Jordan passed!
-{{Vs|6}} If I ask Him to receive me,
-Will He say me nay?
-Not till earth and not till heaven
-Pass away!
-{{Vs|7}} Finding, following, keeping, struggling,
-Is He sure to bless?
-Angels, martyrs, saints, and prophets
-Answer, Yes!
