904.
[Rest succeeding work is sweet]
The apostles gathered themselves together, &c.
—vi. 30.
Rest succeeding work is sweet,
(Sweetness to the world unknown,)
When we listen at His feet,
Commune with our Lord alone,
When out of ourselves we fly,
After all our preaching toil
Gather'd in by Jesus' eye,
Recompensed by Jesus' smile.

After all our preaching toil

While we in His sight review
Every deed and word and thought,
Faithfully to Him we show
All that we have done and taught,
Prove our lives and doctrines good,
Own we have not run in vain,
Then go forth with strength renew'd,
Preach and live the word again.
