O land of rest |

|
Land of rest, for thee I sigh; When will the moment come, When I shall lay my armour by, And dwell with Christ at home? No tranquil joys on earth I know, 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 succor to his breast, And he'd conduct me home. I should at once have quit the field, Where foes and fury roam; But, ah! my passport was not sealed; I could not yet go home. When by affliction sharply tried, I view the gaping tomb, Although I dread death's chilling tide, Yet still I sigh for home. Weary of wand'ring round and round This vale of sin and gloom, I long to leave th' unhallowed ground, And dwell with Christ at home. |
