True Rest
Author: Jessie P. Tompkins Hymnal: Glorious Praise #208 (1904) First Line: O weary souls who long for rest Refrain First Line: Rest, rest, sweet, sweet rest Lyrics: 1 O weary souls who long for rest,
O troubled, restless hearts,
There is a kind and loving breast,
Where pity ne’er departs.
Refrain:
Rest, rest, sweet, sweet rest;
The love that calms life’s troubled sea
Will give you rest, sweet rest.
2 The shadows dark that cloud thy sky,
The burdens hard to bear,
The joys that bloom to fade and die,
He marks with tender care. [Refrain]
3 He trod the wine-press all alone,
Sorrow and grief he knew;
The hands that felt the cruel nails
He reached down to you. [Refrain]
4 Rest only comes when His dear voice
Bids calm the troubled sea;
‘Tis when we hear his “Peace, be still!”
Earth’s darkest shadows flee. [Refrain]
5 Then do not slight the proffered hand,
And drive the nails anew;
Look thou, and see your Saviour stand
And offer rest to you. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [O weary souls who long for rest]
