Rest, rest thee, weary heart,

Lucy Ann Bennett (1850-1927)

6 Verses Christian Hymn Spiritual Song

Verse 1

Rest, rest thee, weary heart, Let toil and anguish cease; Take from Thy Savior's hands Thine heritage of peace.

Verse 2

Lie low before His feet, Too low thou canst not be, For sacred calm is here, And here is liberty.

Verse 3

Submit, lay down thine arms, Nor question, nor rebel; So shalt thou hear erewhile His whisper, It is well.

Verse 4

No secret wound of thine, Though it be great or small, Presume to hide from Him; Confess, confess it all;

Verse 5

Nor merit of thine own Upon His altar place; All is of Christ alone, And of His perfect grace.

Verse 6

Rest, rest thee, weary heart, Let care and anguish cease; Take from thy Savior's hands Thine heritage of peace.
