Tune: Malvern
(one tune to \'Jesus, where\'er thy people meet\')
*********
Come rest a while, refreshing take
So be strengthened for your Lord\'s sake
To serve Him well, alert and bold
Praying that our love not grow cold
Through ease and toil, through sun and rain
Through storms and calm, through joy and pain
He faithful be, does our hearts see
Desiring fruit plenteously
Fruit for His glory, words and deeds
These the fruition from the seeds
And from our state, as branches we
Abide in Him, the true Vine He
So nature shows the life cycle
Humanity is shared by all
Though we small, poor, to His compare
Yet we by grace His life can share
All things in Him, in His order
They do obey His will for sure
But where not, He will with judgement
Judge justly if they not repent
O Lord of life, all things in you
Find their perfect fulfilment true
Help us trust, love, grow day by day
Seek others too to know your way
