Lord, I believe a rest remains

by Charles Wesley·1814·Meter 8.6.8.6 (CM)

Based on Heb 4:9

1

Lord, I believe a rest remains
To all thy people known;
A rest where pure enjoyment reigns,
And thou art loved alone.

2

O that I now the rest might know,
Believe and enter in!
Dear Saviour, now the power bestow,
And let me cease from sin.

3

Remove this hardness from my heart,
This unbelief remove;
To me the rest of faith impart,
The Sabbath of thy love.

4

Come, thou dear Saviour, come away!
Into my soul descend;
No longer from thy creature stay,
My Author and my End.
