L. M.
Return unto thy rest, O my soul.
Psalm 116:7.
Another six days’ work is done;
Another day of rest begun,
Return, my soul, enjoy the rest,
Improve the day thy God hath blest.
2 O that our thoughts and thanks may rise,
As grateful incense to the skies;
And draw from heaven that sweet repose
Which none but he that feels it knows.
3 This heavenly calm within the breast
Is the dear pledge of glorious rest,
Which for the Church of God remains,
The end of cares, the end of pains.
Stennett.
