Weary of earth and laden with my sin,

by Samuel John Stone

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 289 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

Weary of earth and laden with my sin, I look to heaven and long to enter in; But there no evil thing may find a home, And yet I hear a voice that bids me, "Come."

Verse 2

The while I fain would tread the heavenly way, Evil is ever with me day by day; Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall, "Repent, return; thou shalt be loosed from all."

Verse 3

Cease, restless will! Thy lonely strife resign! I know too well how little strength is mine; Grant me, dear Lord, Thy saving love to see; I strive no more; I give myself to Thee.
