Show St. Stephen's Hymn. "Art thou weary, art thou languid? Art thou sore distressed Come to me, said One, and coming Be at rest! "Hath He marks to lead me to Him If He be my Guide? In His hands and feet are wound-prints And His side! "Is there diadem as monarch That His brow adorns? Yea, a crown, in very surety But of thorns. "If I find Him. if I follow What His guerdon here? Many a sorrow, many a labor, Many a tear. "If I still hold closely to Him What hath He, at last? Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan past! "If I ask Him to receive me, Till He say me nay Not till earth and not till heaven Pass away! "Finding, following, struggling, keeping, keep-ing, Is He sure to bless? Angels, Martyrs, Prophets, Virgins, Answer, Yes!" Translated from the Greek by John Mason Neale. |
