227. S. M. Montgomery.

Seeking Rest.

1 O, where shall rest be found,

Rest for the weary soul?

'Twere vain the ocean depths to sound,

Or pierce to either pole:

2 The world can never give

The rest for which we sigh;

'Tis not the whole of life to live,

Nor all of death to die.

3 In Thee we end our quest;

Alone are found in Thee

The life of perfect love,--the rest

Of immortality.
