Lord, I believe a rest remains

Lord

I believe a rest remains

To all Thy people known;

A rest where pure enjoyment reigns

And Thou art loved alone.

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.

Oh

that I now the rest might know

Believe

and enter in;

Now

Savior

now the power bestow

And let me cease from sin.

Remove this hardness from my heart

This unbelief remove;

To me the rest of faith impart

The Sabbath of Thy love.

I would be Thine

Thou know’st I would

And have Thee all my own;

Thee

O my all-sufficient Good

I want

and Thee alone.
