Rest for the Weary

No. 544
([IN THE CHRISTIAN'S HOME IN GLORY])
1.

In the Christian's home in glory
There remains a land of rest;
And my Savior's gone before me
To fulfill my soul's request.

Refrain:
There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for you.
On the other side of Jordan,
In the sweet fields of Eden,
Where the tree of life is blooming,
There is rest for you.

2.

He is fitting up my mansion,
Which eternally shall stand,
For my stay shall not be transient
In that holy, happy land.

Refrain:
There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for you.
On the other side of Jordan,
In the sweet fields of Eden,
Where the tree of life is blooming,
There is rest for you.

3.

Sing, O sing ye heirs of glory!
Shout your triumph as you go!
Zion's gates will open for you,
You shall find an entrance through.

Refrain:
There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for you.
On the other side of Jordan,
In the sweet fields of Eden,
Where the tree of life is blooming,
There is rest for you.
