Rest in the Lord-from harps above

The music seems to thrill,

Rest in His everlasting love

Rest and be still.

Rest thou, who claimest for thine own

Thy chosen bride today,

Affianced in His faith alone

Thy bride for aye.

And thou, whose trustful hand is given

Avouching here thy spouse,

Rest, for a Father seals in heaven

His children’s vows.

Rest ye, who cluster round them both

To mingle praise and prayer,

Your God affirms the plighted troth,

Your God and theirs.

Rest for the Heav’nly Bridegroom here

Is standing by your side,

And in this union draws more near

His mystic bride.

Rest in the Lord-thrice Holy Dove,

In us Thy word fulfill

Rest in His everlasting love,

Rest and be still.
