Weary
Weary, oh so weary, yet the promise,
Oh, how blessed.
I will claim for Jesus promised,
"Come, I will give you rest."
Weary, oh so weary,
Longing just to touch his hand,
That will lead me through the valley,
To the blissful summer land.
Weary then no longer,
In that heavenly land I'll d'well.
Ever singing with the angel's.
"Hallelujah, all is well."
