Sweet Rest There

Author: F. A. B. Hymnal: Songs of Love and Praise No. 4 #75 (1897) First Line: How precious the tho't, when with sorrows we meet Refrain First Line: There’ll be rest, there’ll be rest Lyrics: 1 How precious the tho’t, when with sorrows we meet, There’ll be sweet rest there; Tho’ oft faints the spirit, and falter the feet, There’ll be sweet rest there; Refrain: There’ll be rest, there’ll be rest, Rest for all who aweary roam; There’ll be rest, there’ll be rest, In that eternal home. 2 Tho’ bowed ’neath the burdens that here so oppress, There’ll be sweet rest there; Our Saviour on earth felt the same weariness, There’ll be sweet rest there; [Refrain] 3 Look up, soul bereft, and remember ere long There’ll be sweet rest there; The sigh of the mourner shall merge into song, There’ll be sweet rest there; [Refrain] 4 On that quiet shore, past the mad breakers’ foam, There’ll be sweet rest there; No sorrow of earth shall be felt in the home, There’ll be sweet rest there. [Refrain] 5 Earth’s weariness soon shall forever be past, There’ll be sweet rest there. The rest that “remaineth” we’ll enter at last, There’ll be sweet rest there. [Refrain] Scripture: Hebrews 4:9 Tune Title: [How precious the thought, when with sorrows we meet]
