Returning and Rest

"Thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest ye shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength, and ye would not.... And therefore will the LORD wait, that He may be gracious unto you, and therefore will He be exalted, that He may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for Him" (Isaiah 30:15,18).

There is a way that God decreed
That rebel sinners may be saved,
And thus they may be free indeed,
Though once by sin they were enslaved.

Return to God and find your rest!
Now find your strength in His defense!
For in repentance we are blest
With quietness and confidence.

We thank You, Lord, for love so great
Extended to the human race
That You would ransom us, then wait
For those responding to Your grace!
