WEARY, NOW I GO TO REST

The hymn “Weary, Now I go to Rest”, written by Luise Hensel, is a tender evening prayer seeking divine rest and protections. It conveys a weary soul’s longing for peace, requestion God’s watchful care during sleep, forgiveness for daily shortcomings through Christ Jesus’ grace, and safety for loved ones and all people.

With themes of surrender, repentance, and hope, the lullabies gentle tone has been beautifully reimagined as a harp arrangement by Esther Weiss, which adds a delicate, prayerfully quality to the hymn’s heartfelt message.

“Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.” Psalm 121:4
