249. In the Christian's home in glory

1 In the Christian's home in glory,
There remains a land of 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. [Refrain]

3 Pain or sickness ne'er shall enter,
Grief nor woe my lot shall share;
But in that celestial center,
I a crown of life shall wear. [Refrain]

4 Death itself shall then be vanquished,
And his sting shall be withdrawn;
Shout for gladness, O ye ransomed,
Hail with joy the rising morn. [Refrain]

5 Sing, O sing, ye heirs of glory;
Shout your triumph as you go;
Zion's gates will open for you,
You shall find an entrance through [Refrain]
