VERSE 1
Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile,
Weary, I know it, of the press and throng;
Wipe from your brow the sweat and dust of toil,
And in My quiet strength again be strong.
VERSE 2
Come ye aside from all the world holds dear,
For converse which the world has never known;
Alone with Me, and with My Father here,
With Me, and with my Father not alone.
VERSE 3
Come, tell Me all that ye have said and done,
Your victories and failures, hopes and fears;
I know how hardly souls are wooed and won;
My choicest wreaths are always wet with tears.
VERSE 4
Come ye, and rest the journey is too great,
And ye will faint beside the way and sink;
The bread of life is here for you to eat,
And here for you the wine of love to drink.
VERSE 5
Then, fresh from converse with the Lord, return
And work till daylight softens into even;
The brief hours are not lost in which ye learn
More of your Master and His rest in Heaven.
