When faints the heart beneath the heavy burden
Of human woes that cannot be suppressed;
When anxious ones are coming still and going,
And leave no time for leisure, calm or rest.
How sweet the words that all our fears beguile,
Come ye apart with me and rest awhile;
How sweet the words that all our fears beguile,
Come ye apart with me and rest awhile.
And there alone with Jesus on the mountain,
What joy is ours, what visions of delight;
Our faith mounts up as on the wings of eagles,
And soars at will from towering height to height.
How sweet the words that all our fears beguile,
Come ye apart with me and rest awhile;
How sweet the words that all our fears beguile,
Come ye apart with me and rest awhile.
Yet not for aye the rest, the joy, the transport.
The interchange of thought, as friend with friend;
But for the work we still have left unfinished
Our souls are strong when we again descend.
How sweet the words that all our fears beguile,
Come ye apart with me and rest awhile;
How sweet the words that all our fears beguile,
Come ye apart with me and rest awhile.
Thrice blessed mount of holy transformation,
Where Jesus oft permits his own to stay;
Oh, bliss to rise and breathe its air a moment!
Then speed us on to everlasting day.
How sweet the words that all our fears beguile,
Come ye apart with me and rest awhile;
How sweet the words that all our fears beguile,
Come ye apart with me and rest awhile.
