Lyics

My only Saviour! when I feel

O'erwhelmed in spirit, faint, oppressed,

'T is sweet to tell thee, while I kneel

Low at thy feet, thou art my rest.



I'm weary of the strife within;

Strong powers against my soul contest;

O, let me turn from self and sin

To thy dear cross, for there is rest!



O! sweet will be the welcome day,

When from her toils and woes released,

My parting soul in death shall say,

"Now, Lord! I come to thee for rest."
