33*. Rest My Soul, the Work Is Done | 7s. |
| by Mary Bowley |
|
|
| | |
|
| 1 | Rest my soul, the work is done, | John 17:4; John 19:30; Revelation 1:8 |
| Done by God's almighty Son; |
| This to faith is now so clear, |
| There's no place for torturing fear. |
|
| 2 | Not through works of weary toil, | Titus 3:5; Philippians 3:9 |
| Comes the sunshine of God's smile; |
| Won by Christ, if found in Him, |
| Brightly falls the glorious beam. |
|
| 3 | With belief in Jesus blest, | Hebrews 4:11; Philippians 2:13; Hebrews 13:21 |
| We are entering into rest; |
| He who full salvation brought, |
| In us all our works hath wrought. |
|
| 4 | Come, my soul, take up the cross, | Matthew 16:24-26; 1 Corinthians 15:58 |
| Count the gain, despise the loss; |
| Labor for and with the Lord |
| Brings exceeding great reward. |
|
| 5 | Free from every fear of wrath, | 1 Peter 2:21 |
| Choose the laborer's happy path, |
| Tread the way which Christ hath trod, |
| Till the sabbath of thy God. |
