Lord, I believe a rest remains
|
|
| 1. | Lord, I believe a rest remains |
| | To all Thy people known; |
| | A rest where pure enjoyment reigns, |
| | And Thou art loved alone. |
| 2. | A rest, where all our soul's desire |
| | Is fixed on things above; |
| | Where fear and sin and grief expire, |
| | Cast out by perfect love. |
| 3. | Oh, that I now the rest might know, |
| | Believe, and enter in; |
| | Now, Savior, now the power bestow, |
| | And let me cease from sin. |
| 4. | Remove this hardness from my heart, |
| | This unbelief remove; |
| | To me the rest of faith impart, |
| | The Sabbath of Thy love. |
| 5. | I would be Thine, Thou know'st I would, |
| | And have Thee all my own; |
| | Thee, O my all-sufficent Good. |
| | I want, and Thee alone. |
