THERE REMAINETH THEREFORE A REST FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD', by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Rest remains when all is done
Last Line: Struggling panting up to god
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): Rest


Rest remains when all is done,
Work and vigil, prayer and fast,
All fulfilled from first to last,
All the length of time gone past
And eternity begun!

Fear and hope and chastening rod
Urge us on the narrow way:
Bear we now as best we may
Heat and burden of today,
Struggling, panting up to God.
