Rh

Ach Day on Wings Vexation brings,

And certain Cares abounding;

Yet shall not this disturb our Bliss,

With restless Thoughts confounding.

God's Promise true is ever new

To Hearts in him Confiding;

His Heav'nly Grace, in ev'ry Case,

Advice and Aid providing.

Contentedness with Godliness

Is Gain that best may please Us,

The rest shall be all added free,

If we Possess but Jesus.

Then rich we are; like Angels fair;=

And tho' we here are Dying,

Yet God in all, and after shall

With Comforts be supplying

Ah! God let me burn ardently

In thy sweet Love for ever.

And Succour send when th' Evil Fiend

Me from my Rest would sever.

I'd own thy Truth with Heart and Mouth,

Before thy Scepter falling:

Thy Spirit in me, of Liberty,

Thee Abba Father calling.

O fix thou me from self set free,

In thee my Habitation.

With Christ thy Son my Head made one,

In blest Incorporation.

VVhen shall I Rest from Acts unblest,

And only work thy Pleasure;

VVhere all is done by thee alone

In Number, VVeight and Measure?
