Calvary Songs ‎#92

92. Weary Not, My Brother

1 Weary not, my brother;
Cheerful be thy song;
Is thy burden heavy,
And the journey long?
Does the weight oppress thee?
Cast it on the Lord;
Run thy race with patience,
Trusting in his word.

Refrain:
Looking unto Jesus,
He has died for thee;
Receive the great salvation,
For all, so full, so free.

2 Seek and thou shalt find him,
Still in faith believe;
Call and he will hear thee,
Ask him and receive:
In the darkest moment—
In the deepest night,
He will give thee comfort,
He will give thee light. [Refrain]

3 Trials may befall thee,
Thorns beset thy way,
Never mind them, brother,
Only watch and pray;
Through the vale of sorrow
Once the Saviour trod;
Run thy race with patience,
Pressing on to God. [Refrain]

4 Labor on, my brother,
Thou shalt reap at last
Fruits of joy eternal,
When thy work is past;
Crowds of shining angels
View thee from the skies;
Run thy race with patience,
Yonder is the prize. [Refrain]
