When Shall I Be At Rest ? My Trembling H...
Wlieii shall I be at rest ? My eyes grow dim With straining through the gloom , —I scarce can see
The _waymarks that my Saviour left for me ; Would it were morn , and I were safe with Him ! When shall I be at rest ? Hand over hand
I grasp , and climb an ever-steeper hill , A rougher path . Oh ! that it were Thy will , My tired feet might tread the Promised Land !
Oh , that I were at rest ! a thousand fears Come thronging o ' er me lest I fail at last .
Would I were safe , all toil and danger past , And Thine own hand might wipe away my tears ! Oh , that I were at rest I like some I love ,
Whose last fond looks drew half my life away , Seeming to plead that either tliey might stay With me on earth , or I with them above .
But why these murniurs ? Thou didst never shrink From any toil or weariness for
me—Not even from that last deep agony—Shall I beneath my little trials sink ? ! N _" o , Lord ; for when I am indeed at rest ,
One taste of that deep bliss will quite efface The sternest memories of my earthly race , Save but to swell the sense of being blest .
Then lay on me whatever cross I need To bring me there . I know Thou canst not be
Unkind , unfaithful , or untrue to me ! Shall I not toil for Thee , when Thou for me didst bleed ?
