Rest in the Lord

“Rest in the Lord!” I calmly wait; My cross points to the pearly gate. E’en though I deeply mourn, heartbroken, Yet shall hope’s trustful words be spoken: “My Loved is mine!” (Cant. 2:16) whate’er he send Will prove a blessing in the end.
He loves me deeply, tenderly, He came, from sin to rescue me, Sprang into death’s dark, yawning portal, To bring life’s light to me, the mortal. Faithful is he, and ever kind, In him I full abundance find.
I know thy love, my faithful God! And should I suffer cross or rod, Were all my days consumed in anguish, Or if my flesh and heart must languish: Thy will, my Lord, is always best, In thy love let my soul find rest.
— From the German, by H. Meyer, Author Unknown.
