I rest my soul on thee alone,

E’en till my last, expiring breath.

2 Soon will the storm of life be o’er,

And I shall enter endless rest;

There I shall live to sin no more,

And bless thy name, for ever blest.

3 Bid me possess sweet peace within;

Let childlike patience keep my heart,

Then shall I feel my heaven begin,

Before my spirit hence depart.
