With Weary Feet and Saddened Heart

With wea­ry feet and sad­dened heart

From toil and care we flee

And come

O dear­est Lord

apart

To rest awhile with Thee.

The courts of Heav’n were lost to view

The world had come be­tween;

But here the veil is rent in two;

We see the things un­seen.

Our sins

in Thy pure light des­cried

Stand out in dread ar­ray;

But here in love’s ab­solv­ing tide

Their guilt is washed away.

With strife of tongues dis­traught and worn

Our troub­lous way we trod;

But cast our­selves

this ho­ly morn

Into the peace of God.

And oh! what depth of joy

as thus

We bend the trem­bling knee

To know that Thou art one with us

And we are one with Thee.
