The Repose of Faith.

1Happy soul, that safe from harm

Rests within his Shepherd's arm!

Who his quiet shall molest?

Who shall violate his rest?

2Seek, O Lord, thy wandering sheep;

Bring me back, and lead, and keep;

Take on thee my every care;

Bear me, on thy bosom bear.

3Let me know thy gracious voice;

More and more in thee rejoice;

More and more of thee receive;

Ever in thy spirit live:--

4Live, till all thy love I know,

Perfect in my Lord below;

Gladly then from earth remove,

Gathered to the fold above.
