O Savior, May We Never Rest

O Sav­ior

may we nev­er rest

Till Thou art formed with­in

Till Thou hast calmed our trou­bled breast

And crushed the pow­er of sin.

O may we gaze up­on Thy cross

Until the won­drous sight

Makes earth­ly trea­sures seem but dross

And earth­ly sor­rows light.

Until

re­leased from car­nal ties

Our spir­it up­ward springs

And sees true peace ab­ove the skies

True joy in heav­en­ly things.

There as we gaze

may we be­come

United

Lord

to Thee

And

in a fair­er

hap­pi­er home

Thy per­fect beau­ty see.
