There are nearly 70 hymns that were originally written in English that have been translated into other languages and are included in official LDS hymnbooks. “If the Way Be Full of Trial, Weary Not” is one of these.

This is the version in the Spanish hymnbook. http://media.ldscdn.org/pdf/music/hymns-spanish/2001-11-0670-if-the-way-be-full-of-trial-spa.pdf
