Isaiah 28:12: This is the rest, and this is the refreshing

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

In weariness confirm'd repose.
Relief in life's severest woes,
Is freely offer'd to mankind.
And all who seek the comfort find:
Even I the sweet refreshment prove,
Assured of His forgiving love,
Rest to my soul, eternal rest
I find it now in Jesu's breast.
