Weary of Earth, Myself, and Sin

Weary of Earth, Myself and Sin
Taken from the Gadsby Hymnal #386
Words: Samuel Medley, 1738-1799.
Music: Brian T. Murphy, 2005.



Weary of earth, myself and sin,
Dear Jesus set me free,
And to Thy glory take me in,
For there I long to be.



Chorus:
Let a poor laborer here below,
When from his toil set free;
To rest and peace eternal go;
For there I long to be.


Burdened, dejected and oppressed,
Ah! Whither shall I flee,
But to Thy arms for peace and rest?
For there I long to be.


Empty, polluted, dark and vain,
Is all this world to me;
May I the better world obtain;
For there I long to be.
