Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose.
With Thy tend'rest blessing
May our eyelids close.

And hie him home, at evening's close,
To sweet repast and calm repose.Thomas Gray
What the great learning teaches, is to illustrate illustrious virtue; to renovate the people; and to rest in the highest excellence.
The point where to rest being known, the object of pursuit is then determined; and, that being determined, a calm unperturbedness may be attained to. To that calmness there will succeed a tranquil repose. In that repose there may be careful deliberation, and that deliberation will be followed by the attainment of the desired end.Confucius
Oh, give Thine own sweet rest to me,
That I may speak with soothing power
A word in season, as from Thee,
To weary ones in needful hour.Frances Ridley Havergal
Come, come to Him who made thy heart; Come weary and oppressed; To come to Jesus is thy part; His part, to give thee rest.
George MacDonald
Now my weary lips I close;
Leave me, leave me to repose!Thomas Gray
