Hymn 511
Rest in the Lord-from harps above
Meter: 8.6.8.4.
Scripture: Psalm 37:7
1
Rest in the Lord-from harps above
The music seems to thrill,
Rest in His everlasting love
Rest and be still.
2
Rest thou, who claimest for thine own
Thy chosen bride today,
Affianced in His faith alone
Thy bride for aye.
3
And thou, whose trustful hand is given
Avouching here thy spouse,
Rest, for a Father seals in heaven
His children’s vows.
4
Rest ye, who cluster round them both
To mingle praise and prayer,
Your God affirms the plighted troth,
Your God and theirs.
5
Rest for the Heav’nly Bridegroom here
Is standing by your side,
And in this union draws more near
His mystic bride.
6
Rest in the Lord-thrice Holy Dove,
In us Thy word fulfill
Rest in His everlasting love,
Rest and be still.
