Art thou weary, art thou languid
Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 8.5.8.3 Appears in 641 hymnals Topics: Tribulation and Suffering Lyrics: 1 Art thou weary, art thou languid,
Art thou sore distress'd?
"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 wound-prints,
And his side."
3 Is there diadem, as Monarch,
That his brow adorns?
“Yea, a crown, in very surety,
But of thorn."
4 If I find him, if I follow,
What his guerdon here?
"Many a sorrow, many a labor,
Many a tear."
5 If I still hold closely to him,
What hath he at last?
"Sorrow vanquished, labor ended,
Jordan passed."
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.'"

Art thou weary, art thou languid
Am I a soldier of the cross
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,941 hymnals Topics: Tribulation and Suffering Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
A foll'wer of the Lamb,
And shall I fear to own his cause,
Or blush to speak his Name?
2 Must I be carried to the skies
On flow'ry beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed through bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?
4 Sure I must fight if I would reign:
Increase my courage, Lord;
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by thy Word.
5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war,
Shall conquer, though they die;
They view the triumph from afar,
And seize it with their eye.
6 When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all thine armies shine
In robes of vict'ry through the skies,
The glory shall be thine.
Amen. Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:5 Used With Tune: MARLOW
Am I a soldier of the cross
Christian, dost thou see them
Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 305 hymnals Topics: Tribulation and Suffering Lyrics: 1 Christian, dost thou see them
On the holy ground,
How the pow'rs of darkness
Rage thy steps around?
Christian, up and smite them,
Counting gain but loss,
In the strength that cometh
By the holy cross.
2 Christian, dost thou feel them,
How they work within,
Striving, tempting, luring,
Goading into sin?
Christian, never tremble;
Never be downcast;
Gird thee for the battle,
Watch and pray and fast.
3 Christian, dost thou hear them,
How they speak thee fair?
"Always fast and vigil?
Always watch and prayer?"
Christian, answer boldly,
"While I breathe I pray!"
Peace shall follow battle,
Night shall end in day.
4 Hear the words of Jesus:
"O my servant true:
Thou art very weary, -
I was weary too;
But that toil shall make thee
Some day all mine own,
And the end of sorrow
Shall be near my throne."

Christian, dost thou see them
To God my earnest voice I raise
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: Christian Life Tribulation and Suffering Lyrics: 1 To God my earnest voice I raise,
To God my voice imploring prays;
Before his face my grief I show
And tell my trouble and my woe.
2 When gloom and sorrow compass me,
The path I take is known to thee,
And all the toils that foes do lay
To snare thy servant in his way.
3 O Lord, my Saviour, now to thee,
Without a hope besides, I flee,
To thee, my shelter from the strife,
My portion in the land of life.
4 Be thou my help when troubles throng,
For I am weak and foes are strong;
My captive soul from prison bring,
And thankful praises I will sing.

Author: Samuel Rodigast; Catherine Winkworth, 1829-1878 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.8.8 Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: Tribulation and Suffering Lyrics: 1 Whate'er my God ordains is right:
Holy his will abideth;
I will be still whate'er he doth;
And follow where he guideth:
He is my God:
Though dark my road,
He holds me that I shall not fall:
Wherefore to him I leave it all.
2 Whate'er my God ordains is right:
He never will deceive me;
He leads me by the proper path;
I know he will not leave me:
I take, content,
What he hath sent;
His hand can turn my griefs away,
And patiently I wait his day.
3 Whate'er my God ordains is right:
Though now this cup, in drinking,
May bitter seem to my faint heart,
I take it, all unshrinking:
My God is true;
Each morn anew
Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart,
And pain and sorrow shall depart.
4 Whate'er my God ordains is right:
Here shall my stand be taken;
Though sorrow, need, or death be mine,
Yet am I not forsaken;
My Father's care Is round me there;
He holds me that I shall not fall:
And so to him I leave it all.
Amen. Used With Tune: WAS GOTT TUT

"Take up thy cross," the Saviour said
Author: Charles W. Everest Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 297 hymnals Topics: Christian Life Tribulation and Suffering Lyrics: 1 "Take up thy cross," the Saviour said,
"If thou wouldst my disciple be;
Take up thy cross with willing heart,
And humbly follow after me."
2 Take up thy cross; let not its weight
Fill thy weak soul with vain alarm;
His strength shall bear thy spirit up,
And brace thy hear,t and nerve thine arm.
3 Take up thy cross; nor heed the shame,
And let thy foolish pride be still;
Thy Lord refused not e'en to die
Upon a cross, on Calv'ry's hill.
4 Take up thy cross, then, in his strength,
And calmly sin's wild deluge brave;
'Twill guide thee to a better home,
It points to glory o'er the grave.
5 Take up thy cross, and follow on,
Nor think till death to lay it down;
For only he who bears the cross
May hope to wear the glorious crown.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 16:24 Used With Tune: QUEBEC
"Take up thy cross," the Saviour said
