"REST OF THE WEARY, JOY OF THE SAD", by                    
Last Line: "thine to be ever, saviour and friend"
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Rest of the weary, joy of the sad;
Hope of the dreary, light of the glad;
Home of the stranger, strength to the end;
Refuge from danger, Saviour and Friend.

Pillow where lying, love rests its head;
Peace of the dying, life of the dead;
Path of the lowly, prize at the end;
Bliss of the holy, Saviour and Friend.

When my feet stumble, to Thee I'll cry,
Crown of the humble, cross of the high;
When my steps wander, over me bend,
Truer and fonder, Saviour and Friend.

Thee still confessing, ever I'll raise
Unto Thee blessing, glory, and praise;
All my endeavor, world without end,
Thine to be ever, Saviour and Friend.
