I will Give You Rest

Author: Mrs. Thos. May Peirce Hymnal: Joyful Sound #14 (1889) Hymnal Title: Joyful Sound First Line: Oppressed by countless foes without Lyrics: 1 Oppressed by countless foes without, And lurking foes within, We search creation’s bounds in vain For rest from toil and sin. The voice of him whose name is Truth, Invites the weary breast: “Come unto me, come unto me, And I will give you rest.” 2 For God—our God!—so loved the world, He gave his Son to save; To bear each sad infirmity; And weep beside a grave. Our great High Priest in glory now Invites the laden breast: “Come unto me, come unto me, And I will give you rest.” 3 Dear Lord, we come: a contrite heart Thou wilt not turn away; Help us to learn thy holy will, And follow in thy way. We hear thy voice,—it charms the soul, And calms the troubled breast,— “Come unto me, come unto me, And I will give you rest.” 4 Safe sheltered from the tempter’s wiles The inward life shall grow In grace and knowledge of our Lord, So heaven shall dawn below. Toil ends in triumph when these words Shall thrill the anxious breast:— “Well done, thou good and faithful one, Now enter into rest.” Languages: English Tune Title: [Oppressed by countless foes without]
