LyicsO land of rest, for thee I sigh!
When will the moment come,
When I shall lay my armour by,
And dwell in peace at home?
And dwell in peace at home?
And dwell in peace at home?
When I shall lay my armour 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 wo -
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 tired,
I view the gaping tomb,
Although I dread death's chilling tide,
Yet still I sigh for home.
Weary of toil, and wand'ring round
This vale of sin and gloom;
I long to quit th' uhallowed ground,
And dwell with Christ at home.
