227. Rest for the Weary

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

Chorus:
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 Pain nor sickness ne'er shall enter,
Grief nor woe my lot shall share:
But in that celestial centre,
I a crown of life shall wear. [Chorus]

3 Death itself shall then be vanquish'd,
And his sting shall be withdrawn:
Shout for gladness, O ye ransom'd!
Hail with joy the rising morn. [Chorus]

4 Sing, oh, sing, ye heirs of glory;
Shout your triumphs as you go;
Zion's gates will open for you,
You shall find an entrance through. [Chorus]
