2 Chronicles 6:20-21

• [2Ch 6:21] When The Weary, Seeking Rest

  When the weary, seeking rest, To Thy goodness flee; When the heavy laden cast All their load on Thee; When the troubled, seeking peace, On Thy Name shall call; When the sinner, seeking life, At Thy feet shall fall: Refrain Hear then in love, O Lord, the cry In Heav’n, Thy dwelling place on high. When the child, with grave fresh lip, Youth, or maiden fair, When the agèd, weak and grey, Seek Thy face in prayer; When the widow weeps to Thee, Sad and lone and low; When the orphan brings to Thee All his orphan woe: Refrain When the stranger asks a home, All his toils to end; When the hungry craveth food, And the poor a friend; When the sailor on the wave Bows the fervent knee; When the soldier on the field Lifts his heart to Thee: Refrain When the man of toil and care, In the city crowd, When the shepherd on the moor, Names the Name of God; When the learnèd and the high Tired of earthly fame, Upon higher joys intent, Name the blessèd Name: Refrain When the worldling, sick at heart, Lifts his soul above; When the prodigal looks back To his Father’s love; When the proud man, in his pride, Stoops to seek Thy face; When the burdened brings his guilt To Thy throne of grace: Refrain
