LET IT REST———
|
————
I
LONGED for something—O so much:
So near it came, I
almost touched
My heart’s
desire—when far away
‘Twas drawn. Then
seemed a voice to say:
“There, let it rest—God knoweth best.”
Like
children crying for the moon
I pleaded for this
priceless boon;
I wanted it within my
hand—
How
could I then in patience stand
And let it rest) Doth God know best?
Then
He who calmed the stormy sea
Came near to soothe
and quiet me;
And to my longing,
restless will
He gently whispered,
“Peace, be still.”
I let it rest—God doth know best.
