This is not my place of resting
Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 161 hymnals Topics: Bible Songs Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 This is not my place of resting,
Mine's a city yet to come;
Onward to it I am hast'ning,
On to my eternal home.
Refrain:
There is rest yonder, there is rest yonder,
There is rest in that happy land;
There is rest yonder, there is rest yonder,
There is rest in that happy land.
2 In it all is light and glory,
O'er it shines a nightless day;
Every trace of sin's sad story
All the curse has passed away, [Refrain]
3 There the Lamb, our Shepherd, leads us
By the stream of life along,
On the freshest pastures feeds us,
Turns our sighing into song. [Refrain]
4 Soon we pass this desert dreary,
Soon we bid farewell to pain,
Nevermore are sad and weary,
Never, never sin again! [Refrain]
Scripture: Hebrews 4:3 Used With Tune: REST YONDER
This is not my place of resting
O that beautiful home!
Author: Daniel T. Taylor Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Reward of Saints First Line: We are going home: we've had visions bright Lyrics: 1 We are going home: we've had visions bright
Of that holy land, that world of light,
Where the long, dark night of time is past,
And the morn of eternity come at last.
There the weary saints no more shall roam,
But dwell in a sunny, peaceful home,
Where the brow with celestial gems is crowned,
And mansions fair with praise resound.
Refrain:
O that beautiful home!
O that beautiful home!
2 We are going home: we soon shall be
Where the skies are clear, and the soil is free;
Where the victor's song floats o'er the plains,
And the seraph's anthem blends with its strains;
Where the sun rolls down a brilliant flood
Of beams on a world that's fair and good,
And the stars that dimmed at nature's doom
Will sparkle and shine o'er the new earth's bloom; [Refrain]
3 Where the tears and sighs which here are given,
Are exchanged for the gladsome songs of heaven;
And the beauteous forms that sing and shine
Are guarded well by a hand divine.
Love's banner pure and friendship's wand
Are waving above that princely band;
And the glory of God, like a molten sea,
Bathes the immortal company. [Refrain]
4 'Mid the ransomed throng, 'mid the sea of bliss,
'Mid the holy city's gorgeousness,
'Mid the verdant plains, 'mid the angel's cheer,
'Mid the flowers that never of winter hear,
Where the conqueror's song, that sounds afar,
Is wafted on the balmy air,
'Mid the endless years, we then shall prove
The matchless depths of a Saviour's love. [Refrain]

I think of a home in the kingdom of rest
Author: Mrs. M. T. Haughey Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Bible Songs Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 I think of a home in the kingdom of rest,
Where the loved of the Lord will abide;
'Tis a home which the glory of God doth illume,
And nothing of ill can betide.
There sorrow and tears are forever unknown,
And joys never ending find room;
There the brow wears the impress of heavenly peace,
And the cheek immortality's bloom.
2 O kingdom of rest! would we taste of thy bliss,
And share in the promised reward,
We must carefully lift ev'ry cross that appears,
And joyfully follow our Lord.
Tho' the road lead thro' toiling and suffering here,
We must drink of the cup that is giv'n;
Through much tribulation his chosen must pass,
If they enter the kingdom of heav'n. Scripture: Revelation 21:1 Used With Tune: KINGDOM OF REST

And then my Saviour will appear.

Hail! happy day, hail! holy rest,
Hail! angels, saints, and Saviour too;
I'm going home, ye sighs and tears,
I bid you now a long adieu.
2 I'm going home; this wilderness
Growing brighter when my mind recalls
The glorious mansions ready made,
Within fair Zion's jasper walls. [Chorus]
3 I'm going home, and cold, pale death
Has lot its terrors, since I know
My long-lost friends shall meet me there,
Where life's fair tree shall ever grow. [Chorus]

My heart leaps high while thus I sing;
O happy day! it soon will come,
And I shall see our glorious King. [Chorus] Scripture: Isaiah 51:11 Used With Tune: GOING HOME

Then sing of the beautiful hills
Author: J. G. C. Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Bible Songs Reward of Saints First Line: O the beautiful hills where the saints will rest Lyrics: 1 O the beautiful hills where the saints will rest,
When the Lord has made all things new;
Where we shall forget, in the smile of God,
The toils we have journeyed through,
We have seen those hills in their brightness rise
By the eye of faith below,
And we've felt the thrill of immortal eyes
In the night of our darkest woe.
Chorus:
The sing of the beautiful hills,
That rise from the ever green shore;
O sing of the beautiful hills,
When the weary shall toil no more.
2 The cities of yore that were reared in crime,
And renowned by the praise of seers,
Went down in the tramp of old King Time,
To sleep with his grey-haired years;
But the beautiful hills rise bright and strong
Thro' the smoke of old Time's red wars,
As on that day when the first deep song
Rolled up from the morning stars. [Chorus]
3 We dream of rest on the beautiful hills,
Where the trav'ler shall thirst no more;
And we hear the hum of a thousand rills
That wander the green glens o'er.
We'll grasp the hands of the martyred ones,
Who have braved the world's rude strife,
And shout with them o'er the vict'ry gained,
And the crown of immortal life. [Chorus]
4 Our arms are weak, yet we would not fling
To our feet this load of ours;
The winds of spring to the valleys sing,
And the turf replies with flowers,
And thus we learn on our wintry way
That our Father rules as he wills;
And the breath of God on our souls shall play
Till we reach those radiant hills. [Chorus]
Scripture: Psalm 24:3 Used With Tune: THE BEAUTIFUL HILLS
Then sing of the beautiful hills
