Christ our Rest

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.

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!

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. Languages: English
