Author: Medley Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #386 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth, myself, and sin,
Dear Jesus, set me free,
And to thy glory take me in,
For there I long to be.
2 Burdened, dejected, and oppressed,
Ah! whither shall I flee
But to thy arms, for peace and rest?
For there I long to be.
3 Empty, polluted, dark, and vain,
Is all this world to me;
May I the better world obtain;
For there I long to be.
4 Lord, let a tempest-tossèd soul
That peaceful harbour see,
Where waves and billows never roll;
For there I long to be.
5 Let a poor labourer here below,
When from his toil set free,
To rest and peace eternal go;
For there I long to be. Topics: Prayer and Watchfulness Scripture: Psalm 119:174 Languages: English
