LyicsLord I believe a rest remains,
To all thy people known,
A rest, where pure enjoyment reigns,
And thou art lov'd alone.
Remove this hardness from my heart,
This unbelief remove;
To me the rest of faith impart,
The Sabbath of thy love.
I would be thine, thou know'st I would,
And have thee all my own;
Thee, O my all sufficient good,
I want and thee alone.
Thy name to me, thy nature grant;
This, only this, be giv'n;
Nothing beside my God, I want,
Nothing in earth or heav'n.
Come, O my Saviour, come away,
Into my soul descend,
No longer from thy creature stay,
My author and my end.
Come, Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
And seal me thine abode;
Let all I am in thee be lost,
Let all be lost in God.
