EB 4:3{He hath given us rest by His sorrow, and life by His death; "rest from thy sorrow and from thy fear, and from thy hard bondage wherein thou wart made to serve" (Isa. 14:33And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve, (Isaiah 14:3)). Come and take the gift! It is gloriously real. It is no mere slight and temporary sense of relief. And He gives us rest on every side—complete rest, guarded and sheltered all around. It is not only rest from all weariness and burdens, but rest in Himself. Jesus is spoken of in type as "the Man of Rest," "and His rest shall be glorious." It is this, His own divine rest, that He will give. "This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest." Is it worth having? Will you not come for it? You cannot have it without coming to Jesus; but only come, and it shall be yours—for there stands His word—and "in returning and rest shall ye be saved.”
Yes, "even until now!" And so we stand,
Forgiven, loved, and blessed;
And covered in the shadow of God's hand.
Believing, are at rest.
The one great load is lifted from the soul,
That henceforth on the Lord all burdens we may roll.
