RESTING IN GOD.

“Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him.”
This rest is not the brief release That only lasts while tempests cease, A transient and uncertain peace;
Nor yet the long, untroubled sleep In coral groves beneath the deep, That knows not when the whirlwinds sweep.
It is that constant, changeless calm That midst the billows’ worst alarm Holdeth its faith, nor feareth harm;
A rest, not on, but “in the Lord”— Ah! could another human word Such sense of restfulness afford?
As if, encircled by his love, On either side, beneath, above, The soul lost all desire to rove. —Christian Weekly.
