O Saviour, may we never rest Till thou art form'd within; Till thou hast calm'd our troubled breast, And crush'd the power of sin. O may we gaze upon thy cross Until the wondrous sight Makes earthly treasures seem but dross, And earthly sorrows light: Until releas'd from carnal ties, Our spirit upward springs; And sees true peace above the skies, True joy in heavenly things. There as we gaze, may we become United, Lord, to thee; And in a fairer, happier home Thy perfect beauty see. |
Jesus, if thou my Shepherd be,. My soul no want shall know;. For in green fields thou leadest me,. Where healing waters flow.. . In paths of righteousness and peace. Thou causest me to tread;. And pourest, with a rich increase,. Thy blessings on my head.. . Yea, though I pass the gloomy shade. Of death, I will not fear:. Thy staff shall guide me, and thine aid. My steadfast heart shall cheer.. . Thy love, which makes my cup run o'er,. And soothes my burden'd breast,. Shall guide me till I reach the shore. Of everlasting rest.. |
