Representative Text

1 Saviour divine, descend,
Our humble pray’r attend,
O give us rest—
Rest from our doubts and fears,
Rest from our griefs and tears,
Rest thro’-out all our years,
O make us blest.

2 Grant us Thy peace within,
And pow’r o’er ev’ry sin,
Our faith increase;
Help us to watch and pray,
That we from day to day
May walk the heav’nly way,
And never cease.

3 Lead us thro’ all this life,
Guard us thro’ all our strife,
The vict’ry give;
And when, the conflict o’er,
We come to Death’s dark shore,
Take us forevermore
With Thee to live.
