Weary Soul

Take these troubles from my hands
No more make these sorrows mine
Take me to a distant shore
All my cares left far behind
Troubles carried there no more

Lay me down and rest my mind
Battered spirit begs surcease
Is there no safe haven found
for a soul to find some peace
Can a life find some release

Bring to me some hopeful word
That I might see sorrows end
Help me find some respite here
Show me life is still a friend
Glimpse of peace at life's sad end

With such tidings I can rest
Banish hope from life's sad shore
Here will be my journey's fate
Love will find me there no more
Hope extinguished, dream no more
