Place of Sacred Rest

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Christ in Song #900 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal First Line: There is a place of sacred rest Lyrics: 1. There is a place of sacred rest, Far, far beyond the skies, Where beauty smiles eternally, And pleasure never dies; My Father's house, my heav'nly home, Where many mansions stand, Prepared, by hands divine, for all Who seek the better land. 2. When tossed upon the waves of life, With fear on ev'ry side, When fiercely howls the gath'ring storm And foams the angry tide, Beyond the storm, beyond the gloom, Breaks forth the light of morn, Bright beaming from my Father's house, To cheer the soul forlorn. 3. In that pure home of tearless joy Earth's parted friends shall meet, With smiles of love that never fade, And blessedness complete. There, there adieus are sounds unknown; Death frowns not on that scene, But life and glorious beauty shine, Untroubled and serene. Languages: English Tune Title: OAKLEY

Dread alarms shall shake the proud, Pale amazement, restless fear; And amid the thunder cloud Shall the Judge of men appear. 4. But, tho' from his awful face, Heav'n shall fade, and earth shall fly, Fear not ye, his chosen race, Your redemption draweth nigh. Languages: English Tune Title: PLEYEL

It is not for me to be seeking my bliss, Nor building my hopes in a region like this; I look for a city that hands have not piled, I pant for a country by sin undefiled. 3. Let doubt, then, and danger, my progress oppose, They only make heaven more sweet at its close; Come joy, or come sorrow, what e'er may befall, An hour with my God will make up for them all.

I'll lay my life's burden, O Lord, at Thy feet, Where angels are waiting with love's welcome sweet; The portals of glory are open for me: Then oh! let me anchor beyond the dark sea.
