Weary, Heavy Laden.

By L. E. Millne

Oh, my Saviour, I am weary, Sad and drooping, here I lie! Oh, this earth is dark and dreary, For thy presence here I sigh.

Friends who loved when fortune smiled, All have left me, sad and lone, In this desert waste so wild, I am left to weep alone.

But when earthly friends forsake, Jesus saith, Come unto me; Lo, thy cross I'll gladly take, Leave my all and follow thee.

I have leaned on broken reeds— They, O Lord, are swept away; Help me now in time of need, Guide my weary steps, I pray.

Send a ray of light divine, Cheer my sad and fainting heart; Let thy love around me shine; From thee may I ne'er depart.

A smile from Jesus now I see, Farewell to sorrow, grief, and pain. I come, I come, O Christ to thee, And count my loss but lasting gain. L. E. Millne.
