The Silver Chime ‎#31

31. Come, Schoolmates, Don't Grow Weary

1 Come, schoolmates, do not weary,
But let us journey on;
The moments will not tarry,
This life will soon be gone.

Chorus:
There is sweet rest in heav'n,
There is sweet rest in heav'n,
There is sweet rest,
There is sweet rest,
There is sweet rest in heav'n.

2 Our Captain's gone before us,
He bids us rise and come;
High up in endless glory,
He's fitted up our home. [Chorus]

3 And Jesus will be with us,
E'en to our journey's end,
In ev'ry sore affliction
His "present help" to lend. [Chorus]

4 Then glory be to Jesus,
Who bought us with his blood,
And glory be to Jesus,
Who gives us ev'ry good. [Chorus]

5 Yes, glory be to Jesus,
Who'll keep us to the end;
All glory be to Jesus,
The sinner's only friend. [Chorus]
