Only a look from my Saviour, Only a clasp of His hand, Only to watch for His coming, Only to wait His command ; Only to follow Him ever, Aiding the poor and opprestâ Then, when the labour is ended, Shall come quiet rest.
2. Only a look from my Saviour, When I am laden with care, Only a message of mercy, Whispered in answer to prayer. Only to gather the weary Into the fold of the blest â Then, when the labour is ended, Shall come quiet rest.
3. Only a look from my Saviour, Only to trust in His love, While He is drawing me nearer Home to His kingdom above ; Only to work for His glory, Faithfully doing my best, Then, when the labour is ended, Shall come quiet rest.
