68. In the Christian's home in glory

1 In the Christian's home in glory,
There remains an endless rest;
There 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 He is fitting up my mansion,
Which eternally shall stand;
For my stay shall not be transient
In that holy happy land. [Chorus]

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

4 Death itself shall then be vanquish'd,
And its sting shall be withdrawn;
Shout for gladness, O ye ransom'd!
Hail with joy the happy morn. [Chorus]

5 Sing, O 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]
