Rest, Weary Heart,
From All Thy Silent Griefs, And Secret Pain,
Thy Profitless Regrets, And Longings Vain;
Wisdom And Love Have Ordered All The Past,
All Shall Be Blessedness And Light At Last;
Cast Off The Cares That Have So Long Opprest;
Rest, Sweetly Rest!
Rest, Weary Head!
Lie Down To Slumber In The Peaceful Tomb;
Light From Above Has Broken Through Its Gloom;
Here, In The Place Where Once Thy Saviour Lay,
Where He Shall Wake Thee On A Future Day,
Like A Tired Child Upon Its Mother’s Breast,
Rest, Sweetly Rest!
Rest, Spirit Free!
In The Green Pastures Of The Heavenly Shore,
Where Sin And Sorrow Can Approach No More;
With All The Flock By The Good Shepherd Fed,
Beside The Streams Of Life Eternal Led,
For Ever With Thy God And Saviour Blest,
Rest, Sweetly Rest!
