Home of Rest

Hymnal: FM1891 #38 (1891) First Line: Faintly flow, thou falling river Lyrics: 1 Faintly flow, thou falling river, Like a dream that dies away; Down to ocean gliding ever, Keep thy calm unruffled way; Time, with such a silent motion, Floats along on wings of air To eternity’s dark ocean, Bringing all its treasures there. 2 Roses bloom and then they wither, Cheeks are bright then fades their glow; Shapes of light are wafted hither Then like visions, too, they go; Quick as clouds at evening driven O’er the many colored west, Time is bearing us to heaven, Home of happiness and rest. 3 Life is one pure, shining river Flowing to the crystal sea; We are sailing on it ever To the vast eternity: Swiftly on to home and heaven, With the rushing, heaving tide, Soon we’ll anchor and be given Mansions where the saved abide.
