Poetry Friday: Rev. Lawrence Keister

Vacation

"Come ye apart and rest a while,"
Where friendly nature serves;
Where mountains rise in majesty,
Where men renew their nerves.

 Relax, thy hand, release thy soul,
Command they fret to flee.
The One Who all the world upholds,
That One upholdeth thee.

With Him find rest whose kindly care
Assigns thy welcome task;
Whose love anticipates thy need
And thy desire to ask.

If rest and work are in His plan
Who shapes thy life for thee,
As sacred then thy days of rest
As those of work can be. 

The Shining Pathway
Rev. Lawrence Keister
