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]
