Once more at rest,
my peaceful thoughts are blending,
Once more, O Lord,
Thy loving smile I see;
For softly now the twilight
shades descending
Have closed, and left
my heart alone with Thee.
Still, will I hear Thy words
of consolation
That gave me hope
when I was sorely tried;
And since that hour
of hallowed meditation,
Thy counsel, Lord,
has been my only guide.
Once more at rest,
my cares awhile forsaking,
I thank Thee, Lord,
for vict’ries I have won;
For strength and grace,
when earthly ties were breaking,
To trust in Thee, and say,
“Thy will be done.”
Still, will I hear Thy words
of consolation
That gave me hope
when I was sorely tried;
And since that hour
of hallowed meditation,
Thy counsel, Lord,
has been my only guide.
Once more at rest,
I view the silent river,
Whose placid waves
Thy love will bear me o’er;
There, home at last,
my raptured soul for ever
Will fold her wings,
where sorrow comes no more.
Still, will I hear Thy words
of consolation
That gave me hope
when I was sorely tried;
And since that hour
of hallowed meditation,
Thy counsel, Lord,
has been my only guide.
