This Is Not Your Rest

Author: Mary A. McKee Hymnal: Boundless Love #177 (1896) First Line: For this is not your rest, Oh! pilgrim stranger Refrain First Line: But there is a way, a beautiful way Lyrics: 1 For this is not your rest, Oh! pilgrim stranger, A narrow way at best, and full of danger; Arise, depart, Oh! weary heart, His way leads to the cross and from the manger. Refrain: But there is a way, a beautiful way, The redeemed of the Lord shall traverse one day; No lion is there; No shadow of care Shall over the path of the ransomed ones stray. 2 For this is not your rest, Oh! pilgrim, weary, Pursue your way with zest, though lone and dreary; Then haste away, Nor pine to stay, The dawn of day is bright with hope, and cheery. [Refrain] 3 For this is not your rest, Oh! pilgrim brother, Your cross and crown is blest, then seek no other; Arise, with joy, All doubt destroy, We’ll sing his praise in meeting one another. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [For this is not your rest, Oh! pilgrim stranger]
