Today’s hymn comes from Charles Wesley, arguably the greatest hymn writer of all time. No doubt this hymn was based on Hebrews 4:9 and the Sabbath rest that still remains for God’s people. As with a lot of hymns written in this time period, it originally had 15 stanzas, but is known by the below five. I hope this can be your prayer today. Enjoy!

Lord, I believe a rest remains,
To all Thy people known,
A rest where pure enjoyment reigns,
And Thou art loved alone:

A rest, where all our soul’s desire
Is fixed on things above;
Where fear, and sin, and grief expire,
Cast out by perfect love.

O that I now the rest might know,
Believe, and enter in!
Now, Saviour, now the power bestow,
And let me cease from sin.

Remove this hardness from my heart,
This unbelief remove;
To me the rest of faith impart,
The Sabbath of Thy love.

I would be Thine, Thou know’st I would,
And have Thee all my own;
Thee, O my all-sufficient Good!
I want, and Thee alone.
