A Prayer for the promised Rest

Hill Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Peace, promised and prayed for; Peace of the nation prayed for First Line: Dear friend of friendless sinners, hear Lyrics: 1 Dear friend of friendless sinners, hear, And magnify thy grace divine; Pardon a worm that would draw near, That would his heart to thee resign: A worm, by self and sin opprest That pants to reach thy promis'd rest. 2 With holy fear, and reverend love, I long to lie beneath thy throne; I long in thee to live, and move, And stay myself on thee alone: Teach me to lean upon thy breast, To find in thee the promis'd rest. 3 Thou say'st thou wilt thy servants keep In perfect peace, whose minds shall be Like new-born babes, or helpless sheep, Completely stay'd, dear Lord on thee: How calm their state, how truly blest, Who trust on thee the promis'd rest! 4 Take me, my Savior, as thine own, And vindicate my righteous cause; Be thou my portion, Lord, alone; And bend me to obey thy laws; In thy dear arms of love caress'd, Give me to find thy promis'd rest. 5 Bid the tempestuous rage of sin, With all its wrathful fury die; Let the Redeemer dwell within, And turn my sorrows into joy; O may my heart, by thee possess'd, Know thee to be my promis'd rest.
