This hymn has a unique tune.

 
 1 

Rest, rest thee, weary heart,

Let toil and anguish cease;

Take from Thy Savior's hands

Thine heritage of peace.

 
 2 

Lie low before His feet,

Too low thou canst not be,

For sacred calm is here,

And here is liberty.

 
 3 

Submit, lay down thine arms,

Nor question, nor rebel;

So shalt thou hear erewhile

His whisper, It is well.

 
 4 

No secret wound of thine,

Though it be great or small,

Presume to hide from Him;

Confess, confess it all;

 
 5 

Nor merit of thine own

Upon His altar place;

All is of Christ alone,

And of His perfect grace.

 
 6 

Rest, rest thee, weary heart,

Let care and anguish cease;

Take from thy Savior's hands

Thine heritage of peace.
