Religion
Job 3:17: There the weary be at rest
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Leaving myself behind
For that confirm'd repose,
I shall a long oblivion find
Of life and all its woes:
Rest after toil how sweet
When in Thine arms I prove,
Then, only then, I shall forget
That I have grieved Thy love.
