REST

REST

Most people trust in chariots
And lust for power and gold~
But Christians hope in Jesus Christ
As God's purpose yet unfolds.


Like tulips unfurling in the Spring;
The daystar blooms at morning's edge;
Lying vanities must rust and crumble~
But in Christ our souls find rest.


Can you see the mountains shaking?
And the heavens a-shuddering hard?
Hollow temples tumble down to dust~
Watch the Lord cast down the stars!


But so many scorn the Lamb of God
Thus to be sealed in burning shame;
But the lowly heed the Shepherd's voice:
He calls us by his name.

Almighty Saviour, JESUS, Lord of lords~
The King who fills my heart
Guide us, keep us tenderly
A little flock, apart.

See this world and it's lies~ collapsing.
It's gods blind and silent~ useless, too.
But God our Saviour will never fail
Behold: Jesus maketh all things new!


Lord of glory, our God, our King

You have given us~ everything.

Joy unspeakable~ everlasting life and peace~

For this we bend in love, before thee.
