REST WITH US.

"And to you, who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from Heaven with his mighty angels."—2 Thes. 1: 7.
UNTO you, oh troubled Christian, You, who bear a load of woe, Cometh sweet the saintly message, That you may a comfort know. From the lips of God's dear servant, Thus he spake in days gone by: "Rest with us" when the Lord Jesus Shall descend the flaming sky.
"Rest with us." Oh blissful bidding! Care and grief must lighter grow, Till the star-lit night is over, And we see the morning's glow. Lo! with mighty angel escort, And the seraph's trumpet-blast, All his sleeping, waiting loved ones Shall be summoned home at last.
Toiling brother, bowed with sorrow, Weary sinner, stricken sore, Hear the words of invitation— Take this gospel evermore. "Rest with us when the Lord Jesus Comes to reign in glorious power!" And, in patience, watch the tokens Of the grand approaching hour.
—Rev. E. S. Upford (Baptist).
