No Rest but Christ. Heb. 4. 3-11; Matt. 11. 28
1
With sin and guilt poor Zion toils,
 
And labours hard for peace;
 
But till the Lord the Saviour smiles,
 
Her conscience gets no ease.
2
[Her efforts all abortive prove;
 
Her working makes her worse;
 
Nought but the Saviour’s flesh and blood
 
Can save her from the curse.]
3
The Lord the Saviour is her rest;
 
On him she casts her cares;
 
By faith she leans upon his breast,
 
And banishes her fears.
4
But till the Holy Ghost applies
 
The Saviour’s precious blood,
 
Above her guilt she cannot rise,
 
Nor lean upon her God.
