Weary not, my bro­ther,
Cheerful be thy song;
Is thy bur­den hea­vy,
And the jour­ney long?
Does the weight op­press thee?
Cast it on the Lord;
Run thy race with pa­tience,
Trusting in His Word.

Refrain

Looking un­to Je­sus,
He has died for thee;
Oh, glo­ry be to Je­sus,
We’ll shout sal­va­tion free.

Seek and thou shalt find Him,
Still in faith be­lieve;
Call, and He will hear thee,
Ask Him and re­ceive;
In the dark­est moment—
In the deep­est night,
He will give thee com­fort,
He will give thee light.

Refrain

Trials may be­fall thee,
Thorns be­set the way,
Never mind them, bro­ther,
Only watch and pray;
Through the vale of sor­row
Once the Sav­ior trod;
Run thy race with pa­tience,
Pressing on to God.

Refrain

Labor on, my bro­ther,
Thou shalt reap at last
Fruits of joy eter­nal,
When thy work is past;
Crowds of shin­ing angels
View thee from the skies,
Run thy race with pa­tience,
Yonder is the prize.

Refrain
