Author: John Wesley Dennis Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10452 First Line: How oft when I’m weary and sorrow oppressed Lyrics: 1 How oft when I’m weary and sorrow oppressed, I long for the home where no harm can molest; O may we all meet in the land of the blest, And rest in the arms of the Savior. Refrain: Rest in the arms of my Savior, Rest in the arms of my Savior; I want to go there to those mansions so fair, To rest in the arms of my Savior. 2 How sweet it will be when we meet on that strand, And hear the glad songs of the heavenly land; O may we be found of the purified band, And rest in the arms of the Savior. [Refrain] 3 The way may be rough and the journey be long, The battle be hard with temptation and wrong; But when we have reached Heaven’s glorified throng, We’ll rest in the arms of the Savior. [Refrain] 4 When Jesus doth call us, the conflict will cease. From every burden we’ll find sweet release; Our souls shall rejoice in eternity’s peace, And rest in the arms of the Savior.
