"Be all at rest, my soul!" Oh! blessed secret

654

	1.	"Be all at rest, my soul!" Oh! blessed secret
		Of the true life that glorifies thy Lord;
		Not always doth the busiest soul best serve
		Him,
		But he who resteth on His faithful word.
	2.	"Be all at rest!" for rest is highest service;
		To the still heart God doth His secrets tell;
		Thus shalt thou learn to wait, and watch, and
		labor,
		Strenthened to bear, since Christ in thee doth
		dwell.
	3.	"Be all at rest!" for rest alone becometh
		The soul that casts on Him its every care;
		"Be all at rest!" so shall thy life proclaim Him
		A God who worketh and who heareth prayer.
	4.	"Be all at rest!" so shalt thou be an answer
		To those who question, "Who is God, and
		where?"
		For God is rest, and where He dwells is
		stillness,
		And they who dwell in Him that rest shall
		share.
