SS&S 589: MY SAVIOUR, THOU HAST OFFERED REST

SS&S 589: MY SAVIOUR, THOU HAST OFFERED REST

1. My Saviour, Thou hast offered rest

Oh, give it, then, to me!----

The rest of ceasing from myself,

To find my all in Thee.

 

2. This cruel self, oh, how it strives

And works within my breast,

To come between Thee and my soul

And keep me back from rest!

 

3. How many subtle forms it takes

Of seeming verity,

As if it were not safe to rest,

And venture all on Thee.

 

4. O Lord, I seek a holy rest,

A victory over sin!

I seek that Thou alone shouldst reign

O'er all without, within.

 

5. In Thy strong hand I lay me down----

So shall the work be done:

For who can work so wondrously

As the Almighty One?

 

6. Work on, then, Lord, till on my soul

Eternal light shall break;

And, in Thy likeness perfected,

I "satisfied" shall wake.
