LyicsMY only Saviour! when I feel
O'er whelm'd in spirit, faint, oppress'd,
'Tis sweet to tell Thee, while I kneel
Low at Thy feet, Thou art my rest.
I'm weary of the strife within;
Strong pow'rs 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 releas'd,
My parting soul in death shall say,
"Now, Lord! I come to Thee for rest."
