Religion
I Rest with Thee, O Jesus
Translated by Eleanor Hull (1913) · From The Poem-Book of the Gael (1913)
Religion
I rest with Thee, O Jesus,
And do Thou rest with me.
The oil of Christ on my poor soul,
The creed of the Twelve to make me whole,
Above my head I see.
O Father, who created me,
O Son, who purchased me,
O Spirit Blest, who blessest me,
Rest ye with me.
