LyicsO LAND of rest, for which I sigh!
When will the moment come!
When shall I lay my armor by,
And dwell in peace at home?
No tranquil joys on earth I view,
No peaceful, shelt'ring dome;
This world's a wilderness of woe-
This world is not my home.
To Jesus Christ I sought for rest;
He bade me cease to roam,
And fly for refuge to his breast,
And he'd conduct me home.
When by affliction sorely tried
I view the open'd tomb,
Although I dread death's chilling tide,
Yet still I sigh for home.
