LyicsIn the Christian's home in glory,
There remains a land of rest,
There my Savior's gone before me
To fulfill my soul's request.
CHO.- There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for the wea-ry,
There is rest for the wea-ry,
There is rest for you.
On the oth-er side of Jordan,
In the sweet fields of Eden,
Where the tree of life is blooming,
There is rest for you.
He is fit-ting up my mansion,
Which e-ter-nal-ly shall stand,
For my stay shall not be transient,
In that holy happy land.
Pain nor sickness ne'er shall en-ter,
Grief nor woe my lot shall share,
But in that ce-lestial center,
I a crown of life shall wear.
There is rest, etc.
Death itself shall then be vanquished,
And his sting shall be withdrawn;
Shout for gladness, O ye ransomed!
Hail with joy the rising morn.
There is rest, etc.
