THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD OR I REST WITH THEE, O JESUS


VISIT THE NEW ART GALLERY

I REST WITH THEE, O JESUS

I REST with Thee, O Jesus,
     And do Thou rest with me.
The oil of Christ on my poor soul,
The creed of the Twelve to make me whole,
     Above my head I see.
O Father, who created me,
O Son, who purchased me,
O Spirit Blest, who blesseth me,
     Rest ye with me.
