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 souls desire Is fixed on things above; Where fear, and sin, and grief expire, Cast out by perfect love.

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.

I would be thine, thou know'st I would, And have thee all my own; Thee, O my all-sufficient good! I want, and thee alone.

Thy name to me, thy nature grant! This, only this be given: Nothing beside my God I want, Nothing in earth or heaven.

Come, O my Saviour, come away! Into my soul descend; No longer from thy creature stay, My author and my end!

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.
