EN 2970 Long Did I Toil

Matt.11.28

Versi Version 1

1

Long did I toil, and knew no earthly rest,

Far did I rove, and found no certain home;

At last I sought them in His sheltering breast,

Who opes His arms, and bids the weary come:

With Him I found a home, a rest divine,

And since then I am His, and He is mine.

2

The good I have is from His stores supplied,

The ill is only what He deems the best;

He for my Friend, I’m rich with naught beside,

And poor without Him, though of all possessed:

Changes may come, I take, or I resign,

Content, while I am His, while He is mine.

3

Whate’er may change, in Him no change is seen,

A glorious Sun that wanes not nor declines;

Above the clouds and storms He walks serene,

And on His people’s inward darkness shines:

All may depart—I fret not, nor repine,

While I my Savior’s am, while He is mine.

4

While here, alas! I know but half His love,

But half discern Him, and but half adore;

But when I meet Him in the realms above,

I hope to love Him better, praise Him more,

And feel, and tell, amid the choir divine,

How fully I am His, and He is mine.
