Oh, where shall rest be found

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #698 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Oh, where shall rest be found, Rest for the weary soul? 'Twere vain the ocean-depths to sound, Or pierce to either pole. 2 The world can never give The bliss for which we sigh; 'Tis not the whole of life to live, Nor all of death to die. 3 Beyond this vale of tears, There is a life above, Unmeasur'd by the flight of years-- And all that life is love. 4 There is a death whose pang Outlasts the fleeting breath: Oh! what eternal horrors hang Around the second death! 5 Lord God of truth and grace! Teach us that death to shun:-- Lest we be driven from thy face, And evermore undone. 6 Here would we end our quest-- Alone are found in thee The life of perfect love--the rest Of immortality.
