Oh heartsick souls in need of rest
Arise, and see, that thou art blessed
Lean for succor on His breast
He'll soothe away thy bitterness
Call out to Him on bended knee
As He implores thine heart to see
His life He gave, obediently
Thy dearest friend He wants to be
Dwell here below and free from fear
If thou wilt always keep Him near
In His calm, he'll bring thee cheer
Hold Him close, there's none so dear
When overwhelmed and feeling small
Lift up thine heart and on Him call
Live faithfully, heed not to fall
His love, through grace, will reach us all
At journey's end when thou must leave
For mansions fair, thine to achieve
A crown of life, thou wilt receive
Because, thy soul, dared to believe
