174. Weary, oh, yes, thou art weary

1 Weary, oh, yes, thou art weary,
Bearing thy burden of sin;
Clouds of the night are above thee,
Fear and temptation within.

Chorus:
Hear the sweet voice that is pleading with thee,
Pleading with thee, pleading with thee,
Hear the sweet voice that is pleading with thee,
Tenderly pleading with thee.

2 Lonely, oh, yes, thou art lonely,
Plodding thy desolate way,
Far from the arms that would shield thee,
Far from the light and the day. [Chorus]

3 Troubled, oh, yes, thou art troubled,
Comfort has flown from thy breast;
Only in Jesus thy refuge,
Only in Him is thy rest. [Chorus]

4 Weary and lonely and troubled,
Broken in spirit and heart,
Come to the gracious Redeemer:
Child of His mercy thou art. [Chorus]
