First Line: Once more at rest, my peaceful thoughts are blending,

Once more at rest, my peaceful thoughts are blending ;
Once more, O Lord, Thy loving smile I see;
For softly now the twilight shades descending
Have closed, and left my heart alone with Thee

Still, still I hear Thy words of consolation
That gave me hope when I was sorely tried;
And since that hour of hallowed meditation,
Thy counsel, Lord, has been my only guide.

2 Once more at rest, my cares awhile forsaking,
I thank Thee, Lord, for victories I have won ;
For strength and grace, when earthly ties were breaking,
To trust in Thee, and say, hy will be done.

3 Once more at rest, I view the silent river,
Whose placid waves Thy love will bear me o'er ;
There, home at last, my raptured soul for ever
Will fold her wings, where sorrow comes no more.
