182. Rest of the weary

1 Rest of the weary,
Joy of the sad;
Hope of the dreary,
Light of the glad;
Home of the stranger,
Strength to the end;
Refuge from danger,
Saviour and Friend.

2 Pillow, where, lying,
Love rests its head;
Peace of the dying,
Life of the dead;
Path of the lowly,
Prize at the end;
Breath of the holy,
Saviour and Friend.

3 When my feet stumble,
I'll to Thee cry;
Crown of the humble,
cross of the high:
When my steps wander,
over me bend,
Truer and fonder,
Saviour and Friend.

4 Ever confessing
Thee, I will raise
Unto Thee blessing,
glory, and praise: -
All my endeavour,
world without end,
Thine to be ever,
Saviour and Friend.

Amen.
