Oh, Rest Awhile

Author: Thomas T. Lynch Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14745 Meter: 10.10 D First Line: Oh, rest a while, but only for a while Lyrics: 1 Oh, rest a while, but only for a while; Life’s business presses, and the time is short: Ease may the weary of reward beguile; Let not the workman lose what he has wrought. 2 Rest for a while, if only for a while. The strong birds tire, and gladly seek their nest: With quiet heart enjoy Heaven’s quiet smile; What strength has he who never takes his rest? 3 Rest for a while, though ’tis but for a while; Home flies the bee, then soon re-quits the hive: Rest on thy staff, walk then another mile; Soon will the long, the final rest arrive. 4 Oh, rest awhile, for rest is self-return; Leave the loud world, and visit thine own breast; The meaning of thy labors thou wilt learn, When thus at peace, with Jesus for thy guest.
