Stephen the Sabaite; J M. N., Tr (420/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

Stephen the Sabaite; J M. N., Tr ART thou weary, art thou languid, Art thou sore distrest? “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 woundprints, 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 past. 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!”
