L. A. Bennett

6.6.6.6.

REST, rest thee, weary heart,

Let toil and anguish cease;

Take from Thy Saviour’s hands

Thine heritage of peace.

2

Lie low before His feet,

Too low thou canst not be,

For sacred calm is here,

And here is liberty.

3

Submit, lay down thine arms

Nor question, nor rebel;

So shalt thou hear erewhile

His whisper, It is well.

4

No secret wound of thine,

Or be it great or small,

Presume to hide from Him;

Confess, confess it all.

5

Nor merit of thine own

Upon His altar place;

All is of Christ alone,

And of His perfect grace.

6

Rest, rest thee, weary heart,

Let care and anguish cease;

Take from thy Saviour’s hands

Thine heritage of peace.
