Christ our Rest
Author: G. Matheson Hymnal: Laudes Domini #383 (1890) Topics: Christians Love for Christ; Christians Love for Christ First Line: O Love, that wilt not let me go Lyrics: 1 O Love, that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
2 O Light, that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine's blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
3 O Joy, that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the sunshine through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morning shall tearless be.
4 O Cross, that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be. Languages: English Tune Title: LA MONTE

For what blessings the tribute of gratitude bring?
Shall I praise thee for pleasure, for health, or for ease,
For the sunshine of youth, for the garden of peace?

I should leave half untold the donation of bliss!
I thank bless for sickness, for sorrow, and care,
For the thorns I have gathered, the anguish I bear;
3 For nights of anxiety, watching, and tears,
A present of pain, a prospective of fears;
I praise thee, I bless thee, my Lord and my God,
For the good and the evil thy hand hath bestowed! Languages: English

Many another voice than thine;
Many an unwilled echo stealing
From the walls of this thy shrine.
Let thy longed-for accents fall;
Master, speak! and silence all.

Though so tearfully I plead;
Saviour, Shepherd! oh, without thee
Life would be a blank indeed.
But I long for fuller light,
Deeper love and clearer sight.

Speak, that I may follow faster,
With a step more firm and free,
Where the Shepherd leads the flock,
In the shadow of the rock! Languages: English Tune Title: GRANGE

All his glory to resign,
That, for thee the law fulfilling,
All his merit might be thine.
Strive to follow, day by day,
Where his footsteps mark the way.
3 Look to him, the Lord of Glory,
Tasting death to win thy life;
Gazing on that wondrous story,
Canst thou falter in the strife?
Is it not new life to know
That the Lord hath loved thee so?
4 Look to him, and faith shall brighten,
Hope shall soar, and love shall burn,
Peace once more thy heart shall lighten;
Rise, he calleth thee, return!
Be not weary on thy way;
Jesus is thy strength and stay.

I fear thy cause to plead?

In honor of thy name?
And challenge the cold hand of death
To damp the immortal flame?

But, oh, I long to soar
Far from the sphere of mortal joys,
And learn to love thee more.

With every fleeting breath;
And may the music of thy name,
Refresh my soul in death. Languages: English Tune Title: HEBER

Stored up for me above. Languages: English Tune Title: GREENWOOD
