Sacred Songs No. 2 ‎#27

27. Happy Resting

1 Just beyond the silent river,
Over on the other shore,
There is resting, happy resting
For the weary, evermore.

Refrain:
Then the eyes that now are watching
For the morrow’s dawning ray,
Shall be opened to the splendor
Of a bright and glorious day.

2 In that golden, sunny region
There will be no throb of pain,
And the links that here are broken
We shall find in bliss again. [Refrain]

3 There with Jesus, our Redeemer
And the ransomed, we shall meet,
And with songs of rapture praise Him
As we gather at His feet. [Refrain]
