Author: Clara Ann Thompson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Weary, worn, and sorrow-laden Lyrics: 1. Weary, worn, and sorrow-laden,
Jesus, I present my plea;
Shield me from the darts of Satan;
Set my fettered spirit free.
Harken to my cry for guidance,
As I kneel before your throne;
Cheer me with your holy presence
When I feel I'm all alone.
2. Struggling with the cares that press me,
Falling, when I try to stand,
You alone can guide and keep me;
Take, oh take my trembling hand!
Pity now my many failings;
Strengthen all my falt'ring trust;
Keep me 'mid the wind's loud wailing,
God, the merciful and just. Topics: Ordinary Time Week 15 Scripture: Psalm 82:3-4 Used With Tune: HAYWOOD'S HOME Text Sources: Songs from the Wayside, 1908, alt.
