Rest of the weary
joy of the sad
Hope of the dreary
light of the glad;
Home of the stranger
strength to the end
Refuge from danger
Savior and friend!
Pillow where lying
love rests its head
Peace of the dying
life of the dead:
Path of the lowly
prize at the end
Breath of the holy
Savior and friend!
When my feet stumble
to Thee I’ll cry
Crown of the humble
cross of the high;
When my steps wander
over me bend
Truer and fonder
Savior and friend!
Ever confessing Thee
I will raise
Unto Thee blessing
glory and praise:
All my endeavor
world without end
Thine to be ever
Savior and friend!
