Weary Not

When I first heard the lyrics of this hymn, I cried...sobbed, even, throughout every verse that was sung.  Here is a little bit of the background:

This inspiring hymn was brought to greater attention in August of 2012 when the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sang it for LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson at his 85th birthday celebration. It was noted as one of his favorite hymns. It was sung again at the October 2012 General Conference of the Church. 

If the way be full of trial, weary not;

If it’s one of sore denial, weary not;

If it now be one of weeping,

There will come a joyous greeting,

When the harvest we are reaping, weary not.

Chorus:

Do not weary by the way,

Whatever be thy lot;

There awaits a brighter day,

To all, to all who weary not.

If the way be one of sorrow, weary not;

Happier will be the morrow, weary not.

Here we suffer tribulation;

Here we must endure temptation;

But there’ll come a great salvation. Weary not.

Chorus:

Do not weary by the way,

Whatever be thy lot;

There awaits a brighter day,

To all, to all who weary not.

If misfortunes overtake us, weary not;

Jesus never will forsake us, weary not.

He will leave us never, never;

From his love there’s naught can sever;

Glory to the Lamb forever, weary not.

Chorus:

Do not weary by the way,

Whatever be thy lot;

There awaits a brighter day,

To all, to all who weary not.
