When in Thy Love I Rest

Inspired by the following passage from George MacDonald’s poem “O Lord, How Happy!” from A Threefold Cord:

“O Lord, how happy is the time
When in thy love I rest!
When from my weariness I climb
Even to thy tender breast!

The night of sorrow endeth there–
Thou art brighter than the sun;
And in thy pardon and thy care
The heaven of heaven is won.”
