Rest in Thee

By Arthur W. Spaulding

ARTHUR W. SPAULDING
We crowd our lives with anxious cares, Our thoughts are born unfree; We crucify our hurried prayers Upon a service tree. The gleanings that our toils afford We bring on bended knee. But O for that deep peace, our Lord, That we might rest in thee!
Long sweep the cycles of thy suns In calm eternity; The fever of time's measure runs Alone in earth's degree. Give us the rhythm of thy life That pulses full and free, And from this syncopated strife Teach us to rest in thee.
