Author: Mary B. Whiting Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: "Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile" Lyrics: 1 “Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile,” The way is weary and the toil is long; Come, linger in the sunshine of His smile, And gather strength to meet the woe and wrong, Come, these brief moments, freed from sin and care, Shall make you strong the heavy load to bear. 2 “Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile,” The weary world is surging round you still, And Satan strives your spirit to beguile, Come, seek your Lord, and ponder o’er His will; Come, drink the wine, and eat the broken bread, Meet emblems of the strength ye so much need. 3 “Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile,” For he that serves his Lord must holy be, And he that labours must be free from guile, And he that sows be filled with purity; And he that speaks the message of the Word Must first receive the fulness of the Lord. 4 “Come ye and rest,” but only for awhile, The fields are rip’ning and the labourers few, Go forth and work, and wait the call Divine,— “Come ye yourselves apart, My servants true, And at the Supper of the Lamb adore, Worship, and praise, and rest for evermore.” Used With Tune: ["Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile"]
