6 Verses Rest For The Weary Victory Over Sin

Verse 1

My Savior, Thou has offered rest: Oh, give it then to me; The rest of ceasing from myself, To find my all in Thee.

Verse 2

Verse 4

O Lord, I seek a holy rest, A victory over sin; I seek that Thou alone shouldst reign O'er all without, within.

Verse 5

In Thy strong hand I lay me down, So shall the work be done; For who can work so wondrously As the Almighty One?

Verse 6

Work on, then, Lord, till on my soul Eternal light shall break, And, in Thy likeness perfected, I "satisfied" shall wake.
