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.
2. 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.
3. Thee still confessing,
Ever I’ll raise
Unto thee blessing,
Glory and praise;–
All my endeavour,
World without end,
Thine to be ever,
Saviour and Friend.

1. To thee, O dear, dear Saviour!
My spirit turns for rest,
My peace is in they favor,
My pillow on thy breast;
Though all the world deceive me,
I know that I am thine,
And thou wilt never leave me,
O blessed Saviour mine.
2. In thee my trust abideth,
On thee my hope relies,
O thou whose love provideth
For all beneath the skies;
O thou whose mercy found me,
From bondage set me free,
And then forever bound me
With threefold cords to thee.
3. My grief is in the dullness
With which this sluggish heart
Doth open to the fullness
Of all thou wouldst impart;
My joy is in thy beauty
Of holiness divine,
My comfort in the duty
That binds my life in thine.
4. Alas, that I should ever
Have failed in love to thee,
The only one who never
Forgot or slighted me!
O for a heart to love thee
More truly than I ought,
And nothing place above thee
In deed, or word, or thought.
5. O for that choicest blessing
Of living in thy love,
And thus on earth possessing
The peace of heaven above;
O for the bliss that by it
The soul securely knows
The holy calm and quiet
Of faith’s serene repose!
