Does the gospel word proclaim

1

Does the gospel word proclaimRest for those that weary be?Then, my soul, put in thy claim;'Tis that promise speaks to thee.

2

Marks of grace I cannot show,All polluted is my best;But I weary am, I know,And the weary long for rest.

3

Burdened with a load of sin.Harassed with tormenting doubt;Hourly conflicts from within,Hourly crosses from without.

4

All my little strength is gone,Sink I must without supply;Sure upon the earth is noneCan more weary be than I.

5

In the ark the weary doveFound a welcome resting place;Thus my spirit longs to proveRest in Christ, the Ark of grace.
