“Let us labour ... to enter into that rest.” Heb. 4. 11

1 Lord, we lie before thy feet;
  Look on all our deep distress;
  Thy rich mercy may we meet;
  Clothe us with thy righteousness;
  Stretch forth thy almighty hand;
  Hold us up, and we shall stand.

2 O that closer we could cleave
  To thy bleeding, dying breast!
  Give us firmly to believe,
  And to enter into rest;
  Lord increase, increase our faith;
  Make us faithful unto death.

3 Make thy mighty wonders known;
  Let us see thy sufferings plain;
  Let us hear thee sigh and groan,
  Rend, O rend the vail between;
  Open wide the bloody scene.

4 Let us trust thee evermore;
  Every moment on thee call,
  For new life, new will, new power;
  Let us trust thee, Lord, for all;
  May we nothing know beside
  Jesus, and him crucified.
