- 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 prayers;
Your God affirms the plighted troth,
Your God and theirs.
- Rest, for the Heavenly 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 fulfil
Rest in His everlasting love,
Rest and be still. Amen.
