Hymn Context Compare
No sound of jar­ring strife is heard,
So My Word re­turns not fruit­less;
Thus cheer us through this de­sert road,
Which, when He made the world, Je­ho­vah blessed;
I gain Thy Gos­pel fresh re­nown;
Of a mind well stayed on Thee;

la­bors cease

No voice, but those that sweet­ly sing
Till it has achieved My pur­pose
And Heav’n re­fresh our wea­ry souls
And all be pi­ety, and all be peace.
May I pos­sess the pro­mised crown!
Light, where dark­ness can­not be!
