Rest
1. It is vanity to stay up when the working time is done; It is vanity to labor when God puts to rest the sun. God commands us to be trustful, and to sleep within His arms; Then to labor without ceasing cannot help, but only harm. 2. When the work seems not completed, it’s […]
1. The anguished human spirit cries for rest, stability and peace; Deliverance from haunting fear and want, and blessed sweet release. This is the yearning wish of ev’ry soul, yet, pressed on ev’ry hand By constant dread of want, disease, distress; grim loss of life, unplanned; Disasters dreadful, costly, unannounced; and holocaust of war, The […]
1. You have a rest to give us: from our own works to cease; To see You working in us, and in those works find peace. We want to give our lives now and hold them back no more; The Sabbath– it will help us to magnify Your pow’r. 2. To overcome all evil, that […]

1. In the beginning God set up a school: The classroom was Eden and love was the rule; The students, at first, were a woman and man, And keeping the garden was part of the plan. In working, they learned how God worked to make man; In serving, they learned how God first had served […]
Holiness, holiness, holiness, holiness, Holiness is not rapture: It is an entire surrender of the will to God; It is living by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God; It is doing the will of our heavenly Father; It is trusting God in trial, in darkness as well as in the light; It […]

Our only care and aim Throughout this hallow’d day, To glorify Your name, And grateful honors pay; Advance the glory […]
