Lyics

OH, cease! thou wandring soul,

On restless wing to roam;

All this wide world, to either pole,

Has not for thee a home.



Behold the ark of God!

Behold the open door;

Oh! haste to gain that dear abode,

And rove, poor soul, no more.



There, safe thou shalt abide,

There, sweet shall be thy rest,

And every longing satisfied,

With full salvation blest.
