O Saviour, may we never rest
1
O Saviour, may we never restTill thou art formed within;Till thou hast calmed our troubled breast,And crushed the power of sin!
2
O, may we gaze upon thy cross,Until the wondrous sightMakes earthly treasures seem but dross,And earthly sorrows light!
3
Until, released from carnal ties,Our spirit upward springs,And sees, when earthly glory dies,True joy in heavenly things.
4
There as we gaze may we becomeUnited, Lord, to thee;And in a fairer, happier homeThy perfect beauty see.
