Happy soul that free from harms <br />Rests within his Shepherd's arms! <br />Who his quiet shall molest? <br />Who shall violate his rest? <br />Jesus doth his spirit bear, <br />Jesus takes his every care; <br />He who found the wandering sheep, <br />Jesus still delights to keep. <br /> <br />O that I might so believe, <br />Steadfastly to Jesus cleave, <br />On his only love rely, <br />Smile at the destroyer nigh; <br />Free from sin and servile fear, <br />Have my Jesus ever near, <br />All his care rejoice to prove, <br />All his paradise of love! <br /> <br />Jesus, seek thy wandering sheep, <br />Bring me back, and lead, and keep; <br />Take on thee my every care, <br />Bear me, on thy bosom bear: <br />Let me know my Shepherd's voice, <br />More and more in thee rejoice, <br />More and more of thee receive, <br />Ever in thy Spirit live: <br /> <br />Live, till all thy life I know, <br />Perfect through my Lord below, <br />Gladly then from earth remove, <br />Gathered to the fold above. <br /> <br />O that I at last may stand <br />With the sheep at thy right hand, <br />Take the crown so freely given, <br />Enter in by thee to heaven!<br /><br />John Wesley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hymn-xiii-happy-soul-that-free-from-harms/
