"I Will Give You Rest."

By J. A. Powers

By J. A. Powers.
I AM resting in the shadow Of the cross of Calvary; I am trusting in His goodness Who is more than life to me. Well I know His chosen people Age by age were fully tried; Only those who stood the testing To the end were justified; Only those who knew their weakness And kept lowly at His feet Found a strength in His completeness Every tempter to defeat.
Grant me, Lord, the faith and patience That will ever hide in Thee, That will be pure, true, and humble As a lost, saved soul should be. Let me not forget the refuge Of the sheep when wolves are wild; Let me not by worldly folly From that refuge be beguiled. Blessed Saviour, guide and keep me Through life's checkered, thorny way, Till I wake in Thy completeness In the realms of endless day.
