Rest, rest thee, weary heart,
|
|
| 1. | Rest, rest thee, weary heart, |
| | Let toil and anguish cease; |
| | Take from Thy Savior's hands |
| | Thine heritage of peace. |
| 2. | Lie low before His feet, |
| | Too low thou canst not be, |
| | For sacred calm is here, |
| | And here is liberty. |
| 3. | Submit, lay down thine arms, |
| | Nor question, nor rebel; |
| | So shalt thou hear erewhile |
| | His whisper, It is well. |
| 4. | No secret wound of thine, |
| | Though it be great or small, |
| | Presume to hide from Him; |
| | Confess, confess it all; |
| 5. | Nor merit of thine own |
| | Upon His altar place; |
| | All is of Christ alone, |
| | And of His perfect grace. |
| 6. | Rest, rest thee, weary heart, |
| | Let care and anquish cease; |
| | Take from thy Savior's hands |
| | Thine heritage of peace. |
