Alone with Him ! how sweet the rest!
While in His presence, I am blest;
When but Himself, none else I see ;
I "sup with Him, and He with me."

'Tis fellowship of sweetest sort:
To Love's own banquet I am brought,
While in "His hands" and "visage marred"
I read my title to "my Lord."

'Tis peace! The spear had opened the way,
The blood to flow-the wrath to stay
My sins deserved ; and God doth please
To own the work, and give me peace.

Communion too with both in one-
The Father and His blessed Son,
The Holy Ghost the link between
The " Man called Jesus " and the throne.

Ah ! this is rest sublimely sweet!
A sinner with his God to meet
In Jesus ! and in Him alone,
With Him at rest, with Him at home.
