Peace and Rest

“Far as is east from west, are sundered wide
Thou and thy sins: no whirling tide
Of righteous condemnation e’er shall roll
O’er thee, believing sinner—
Christ has died
To save thy soul.
Has died and lives, to show the work complete:
Kneel, kneel, adoring, at the feet
Of Him, Jehovah-Jesus, Christ, the Word
That was—is—shall be. With hosannas greet
Our coming Lord.
Coming to judge the earth and all therein
With us—the Bride He died to win;
Caught up, in mid-air, to His loving breast;
No more vain longings—ah, and no more sin;
‘Tis peace and rest.”
