32. Rest Yonder

1 This is not my place of resting,
Mine's a city yet to come;
Onward to it I am hasting,
On to my eternal home.

Refrain:
Never more to sin again,
Never more to sin again,
Far from sorrow, care or pain,
Never more to sin again.

2 In it all is light and glory,
O'er it all a nightless day;
Ev'ry trace of sin's sad story,
All the curse hath pass'd away. [Refrain]

3 Soon we pass this desert dreary,
Soon we bid farewell to pain;
Never more are sad or weary,
Never, never sin again. [Refrain]
