“There remaineth therefore a Rest to the People of God.”
Rest remains when all is done,
Work and vigil, prayer and fast,
All fulfilled from first to last,
All the length of time gone past
And eternity begun!
Work and vigil, prayer and fast,
All fulfilled from first to last,
All the length of time gone past
And eternity begun!
Fear and hope and chastening rod
Urge us on the narrow way:
Bear we now as best we may
Heat and burden of today,
Struggling, panting up to God.
Urge us on the narrow way:
Bear we now as best we may
