Planted in the land of rest
Our number, Lord, compleat,
Bless us still, with pardon blest, (Ps. 32:1-2)
And make for glory meet: (Col. 1:12)
O might Christ, that holiest place
Where all thy fulness doth reside, (Col. 1:19, Col. 2:9)
In his church with all his grace
Eternally abide! (Ezek. 37:26, John 15:4-7, Rev. 21:3)
Planted in the land of rest
