Rest! peace­ful­ly rest! On His lov­ing breast:
Christ has set the task for me!
Bringing the world to Christ.
Bringing the world to Christ.
How vain are all his hopes and fears!
See myself as cru­ci­fied;
Count all self-in­ter­est wretch­ed­ness,
Keep Thou my feet from fall­ing,
Not my own, my Fa­ther’s will.
I am lay­ing up my trea­sures
Freedom from en­vy, hat­red and strife;
All I claimed was swept away;
All I claimed was swept away;
Or ava­rice stain the sor­did hand,
And left my bro­ther wound­ed by the way,
Labor is en­ab­ling, makes the toil­er blest;
Overwhelming force of love.
Press on to­ward the King’s high call­ing,
And world­ly trea­sure fleet­ing dust.

Am­bi­tion

Search, gra­cious God, and see;
And He will bring it forth in blest fru­ition.
Toil, O hands, in serv­ice free!
Bringing the world to Christ:
Bringing the world to Christ:
Vain are the cares which rack his mind;
That thou may’st be sa­tis­fied?

Let sim­ple plea­sures cheer me
Happy is my hum­ble lot.
I am set­ting my affect­ions
Freedom from all that sad­dened my life!
At my feet in ash­es lay.
At my feet in ash­es lay.
Or rude op­press­ion waste the land:
O Lord, I do re­pent.
Put your heart, and soul, and strength in all you do!
It is meek and suf­fer­eth long;
Press on while foes around are fall­ing—
And shone among the stars—but fell,
