Christ My Song - 56
Rest of the weary - Rest
(John S. B. Monsell/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Rest.
1. Rest of the weary,
joy of the sad,
hope of the dreary,
light of the glad;
home of the stranger,
strength to the end,
refuge from danger,
Saviour and Friend! PDF - Midi
2. Pillow where, lying,
love rests its head;
peace of the dying,
life of the dead;
path of the lowly,
prize at the end,
breath of the holy,
Saviour and Friend!
3. When my feet stumble,
I'll to thee cry;
crown of the humble,
cross of the high.
When my steps wander,
over me bend,
truer and fonder,
Saviour and Friend!
4. Ever confessing
thee, I will raise
unto thee blessing,
glory, and praise;
all my endeavour,
world without end,
thine to be ever,
Saviour and Friend.
