Rest for Weary Souls

Author: Newton Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #356 (1844) First Line: Does the gospel-word proclaim Lyrics: 1 Does the gospel-word proclaim Rest for those who weary be? Then, my soul, put in thy claim; Sure that promise speaks to thee. Marks of grace I cannot show; All polluted is my breast; Yet I weary am, I know, And the weary long for rest. 2 Burdened with a load of sin; Harassed with tormenting doubt; Hourly conflicts from within; Hourly crosses from without; All my little strength is gone; Sink I must without supply; Sure upon the earth there’s none Can more weary be than I. 3 In the ark the weary dove Found a welcome resting-place; Thus my spirit longs to prove Rest in Christ, the Ark of grace. Tempest-tossed I long have been, And the flood increases fast; Open, Lord, and take me in, Till the storm be overpast. Topics: Rest for the Weary Languages: English
