The Haven of Rest
"My soul in sad exile was out on life's sea,
So burdened with sin and distressed,
Till I heard a sweet voice saying,
Make me your choice;
And I entered the Haven of Rest.
I yielded myself to His tender embrace,
And faith taking hold of the Word,
My fetters fell off, and I anchored my soul;
The Haven of Rest is my Lord,
The song of my soul, since the Lord made me whole,
Has been the old story so blest,
Of Jesus, who'll save who-so-ever will have...
A home in the Haven of Rest.
How precious the tho't that we all may recline,
Like John the beloved and blest,
On Jesus' strong arm, where no tempest can harm,
Secure in the Haven of Rest.
O come to the Savior, He patiently waits,
To save by His power divine;
Come, anchor your soul in the Haven of Rest,
And say, My beloved is mine.
Chorus
I've anchored my soul in the Haven of Rest,
I'll sail the wide seas no more;
The tempest may sweep o'er the wild stormy deep;
In Jesus I'm safe ever-more!"

"Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.
I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.
Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.
The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
But Thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in Thee."
Psalm 55:1-23
"And the same day, when the even was come. He saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
And when they had sent away the multitude, they took Him even as He as in the ship. And there were also with Him other little ships.
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves
beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
And He was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake Him, and say unto Him, Master, carest Thou not that we perish?
And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said Peace be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm." Mark 4:35-39
"The Conquerers"
"Jesus and Alexander died at thirty-three,
One died and lived for himself; One died for you and me.
The Greek died on a throne; the Jew died upon a cross;
One's life a triumph seemed, the Other but a loss.
One led vast armies forth; the Other walked alone,
One shed a whole world's blood; the Other gave His own.
One won the world in life and lost it all in death.
The Other lost His life to win the whole world's faith.
Jesus and Alexander died at thirty-three,
One died in Babylon, and One on Calvary.
One gained for himself; and One Himself, He gave;
One conquered every throne, the other every grave.
The One made himself god, the God made Himself less,
The one lived, but to blast, the Other, but to bless.
When died the Greek, forever fell his throne of swords,
But Jesus died to live forever Lord of lords!
Jesus and Alexander died at thirty-three,
The Greek made all men slaves; the Jew made all men free.
One built a throne of blood; the Other built from love.
One won all this earth, to lose all earth and heaven.
The Other gave up all, that all to Him be given.
The Greek forever died; the Jew forever lives.
He loses all who gets, and He wins all things who gives."
