When Shall My Soul Find Rest

1. When shall my soul find rest
From the wearying journey of life's unrest
When shall I find my peaceful nest
And lay my heavy heart to rest

2. In the stillness of a quiet night
When stars shine bright with all their light
I search for solace, a guiding light
To lead me through life's plodding fight

3. My soul, a wanderer, lost and alone
Seeking refuge from life's bitter tone
A place to lay my head, a heart to call home
Where love and peace will forever roam

4. When shall I find my soul's release
From the chains that bind me to life's ceaseless tease
When shall I know the joy of perfect peace
And find my soul's eternal release

5. In the embrace of love, I find my rest
A love that soothes my soul, and calms my breast
A love that lifts me up, and makes me whole
And gives my soul its long-sought role

6. But when shall I find this love so true
This love that heals my soul, and sees me through
This love that gives me strength, and sets me free
And brings my soul to ecstasy

7. In the silence, I hear a voice so clear
A voice that whispers hope, and banishes all fear
A voice that guides me on, through life's darkest night
And leads me to the light, where love shines bright

8. When shall my soul find rest
From the turmoil that rages, and never finds rest
When shall I know the peace that passes all understanding
And find my soul's eternal resting

9. In the arms of God, I find my peace
A peace that soothes my soul, and calms my release
A peace that lifts me up, and makes me whole
And gives my soul its long-sought role

10. But when shall I find this peace so true
This peace that heals my soul, and sees me through
This peace that gives me strength, and sets me free
And brings my soul to ecstasy

11. In the stillness, I find my soul's release
A release from the chains that bind me to life's ceaseless tease
A release from the pain, and the sorrow, and the strife
And find my soul's eternal life

12. When shall my soul find rest
From the journeying, and the struggling, and the unrest
When shall I know the joy of perfect peace
And find my soul's eternal release

13. In the love of God, I find my soul's rest
A rest that soothes my soul, and calms my breast
A rest that lifts me up, and makes me whole
And gives my soul its long-sought role

14. But when shall I find this rest so true
This rest that heals my soul, and sees me through
This rest that gives me strength, and sets me free
And brings my soul to ecstasy

15. In the silence, I hear a voice so clear
A voice that whispers hope, and banishes all fear
A voice that guides me on, through life's darkest night
And leads me to the light, where love shines bright

16. When shall my soul find rest
From the wearying journey of life's unrest
When shall I find my peaceful nest
And lay my heavy heart to rest

17. In the arms of God, I find my peace
A peace that soothes my soul, and calms my release
A peace that lifts me up, and makes me whole
And gives my soul its long-sought role

18. But when shall I find this peace so true
This peace that heals my soul, and sees me through
This peace that gives me strength, and sets me free
And brings my soul to ecstasy

19. In the stillness, I find my soul's release
A release from the chains that bind me to life's ceaseless tease
A release from the pain, and the sorrow, and the strife
And find my soul's eternal life

20. When shall my soul find rest
In the love of God, where I am blessed
To find my peace, my rest, my soul's release
And dwell in love, forever at peace.
