Neath Elim's Cooling Palms

Representative Text

1 We are toiling onward, hand in hand;
We are toiling for the promised land;
Come and join our weary pilgrim band,
We shall rest ’neath Elim’s cooling palms.

Refrain:
Though the waves loudly roar,
We shall pass safely o’er,
To the bright, happy shore of the blest;
By the clear silver gleam
Of the life giving stream,
We shall rest ’neath Elim’s cooling palms.

2 By the swelling waters, clear and sweet,
After toiling through the desert’s heat,
We shall rest our worn and weary feet,
We shall rest ’neath Elim’s cooling palms. [Refrain]

3 There will be no dark and dreary night,
We shall rest forever from the fight;
We shall dwell forever in the light,
We shall rest ’neath Elim’s cooling palms. [Refrain]
