TAKE OUR REST

LYRICS

We will lay down and take our rest
Take our rest in peace
For You alone make us dwell
Make us dwell safely

Answer us in our distress
O God of righteousness
Lord, let Your kindness shine on us


O how long will our shame
Have strength or acclaim
O Lord, do not forsake us
You have set us apart
Put joy in our hearts
How trustworthy You are
How trustworthy You are

  • “Take Our Rest” can help the Church practice surrender. It is a prayer for people who are tired, anxious, burdened, or waiting for God to answer. It teaches us that sleep itself can become an act of faith. We lay down because the Lord does not. We rest because He keeps us.
