There is rest for the weary soul—
There is rest in the Saviour's love;
There is rest in the grace
that has made us whole,
And that seeketh
out those who rove.
There is rest in
the tender love
That has trodden our path below,
That has found us a place
in the realms above,
But can now all
our sorrows know.
There is rest in
the calming grace
That flows out from
those realms above;
Oh what rest in the thought—
we shall see His face,
Who has given us to know His love!
There is rest in
the midst of grief—
For His grief was the proof of love;
Oh 'tis sweet in that love
now to find relief,
When the sorrows
of earth we prove.
There is rest in
the Saviour's heart,
Who would never turn grief away:
But has found, in what
sin once had made our part,
The domain of His love's display.
There is rest in the blessed yoke,
And in proving no will but His,
While we learn from His path,
and the words He spoke,
What the patience of Jesus is!
So where Jesus
has gone before,
Is the path which we have to tread;
And it leads to the rest
where all sorrow's o'er—
To the place where
His steps have led.
