PATIENCE.

Rest, weary soul! The penalty is borne, the ransom paid, For all thy sins full satisfaction made; Strive not to do thyself what Christ has done, Claim the free gift, and make the joy thine own; No more by pangs of guilt and fear distress, Rest, sweetly rest!
Rest, weary heart, From all thy silent griefs and secret pain, Thy profitless regrets and longings vain; Wisdom and love hath ordered all the past, All shall be blessedness and light at last; Cast off the cares that have so long opprest; Rest, sweetly rest!
Rest, weary head! Lie down to slumber in the peaceful tomb; Light from above has broken through its gloom; Here, in the place where once thy Saviour lay, Where he shall wake thee on a future day, Like a tired child upon its mother's breast; Rest, sweetly rest!
