Labour and Rest.
Rest is sweet, and ease is pleasant, When the shades of evening fall, And no case, no grief is present, No regret to mar.it all. Rest is sweet, but labour sweeter. When its impulse comes from Heaven; No enjoyment can be greater Where, the strength and grace are j given. Weary, hungry Jesus, sitting. , By the side of Jacob's weUV . Found refreshment there more fitting ; Than old Sychar had to sell. Needful place to lay His head m, .Seldom, had our Lord m view ; But where'er His path was leading, Where he found some work to do. And when all his friends were sleeping, In the mountain He m prayer Often was a vigil keeping ; And He met His Father there. Let me take tne pattern given, Live upon the Father's love ; Labour on my way to Heaven, Looking for my rest above.
