Hymn Context Compare
While ming­ling with the lone­ly throng.
For Thee Thy church has wait­ed long;
Gain new cour­age with the song,
And sweet­ly steals the Sab­bath rest
To the hope that’s fixed in Thee.
When death seems near and I with­in its pow­er,
For Thy hea­vi­est judg­ments cry:
I jour­ney glad­ly on.
He who on the night-robed mount­ain
Softly with­in that peace­ful rest­ing place,
When soft the dews of kind­ly sleep
Just as thy tow­ers, Da­mas­cus, rise,

wear­ied

Communing on the mount­ain­side,
To sing the new, un­end­ing song.
Of sweet rest and love.
Of Heav­en the sign, of earth, the calm;
Lord, once more Thy grace I seek;
On earth, to op­en them in para­dise.
Forced Thy love to let us die.
And wear­ied knees give way,
He who spoke as none had spok­en,
Press light­ly on them, till the night be past,
Be my last thought, how sweet to rest
The lead­er of that mar­tial crew
