LORD, I believe a rest remains

By A Collection of Hymns


      C.M.
      1 LORD, I believe a rest remains
      To all thy people known,
      A rest where pure enjoyment reigns,
      And thou art loved alone:

      2 A rest, where all our souls desire
      Is fixed on things above;
      Where fear, and sin, and grief expire,
      Cast out by perfect love.

      3 O that I now the rest might know,
      Believe, and enter in!
      Now, Saviour, now the power bestow,
      And let me cease from sin.

      4 Remove this hardness from my heart,
      This unbelief remove:
      To me the rest of faith impart,
      The Sabbath of thy love.

      5 I would be thine, thou know'st I would,
      And have thee all my own;
      Thee, O my all-sufficient good!
      I want, and thee alone.

      6 Thy name to me, thy nature grant!
      This, only this be given:
      Nothing beside my God I want,
      Nothing in earth or heaven.

      7 Come, O my Saviour, come away!
      Into my soul descend;
      No longer from thy creature stay,
      My author and my end!

      8 Come, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
      And seal me thine abode!
      Let all I am in thee be lost,
      Let all be lost in God.
