>Lord, I believe a rest remains, To all thy people known;>A rest where pure enjoyment reigns, And thou art loved alone;>A rest where all our soul's desire Is fix'd on things above;>Where doubt and pain and fear expire, Cast out by perfect love.>From every evil motion freed, (The Son hath made us free,)>On all the powers of hell we tread, In glorious liberty.>Safe in the way of life, above Death, earth, and hell we rise;>We find, when perfected in love, Our long-sought paradise.>O that I now the rest might know, Believe, and enter in!>Now, Saviour, now the power bestow, And let me cease from sin!>Remove this hardness from my heart, This unbelief remove:>To me the rest of faith impart, The sabbath of thy love.>Come, O my Saviour, come away Into my soul descend!>No longer from thy creature stay, My author and my end.>The bliss thou hast for me prepared, No longer be delay'd:>Come, my exceeding great reward, For whom I first was made.>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!
