Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #946 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Rest for the toiling hand,
Rest for the anxious brow,
Rest for the weary, way-worn feet,
Rest from all labor now.
2 Rest for the fevered brain,
Rest for the throbbing eye;
Thro' these parched lips of thine no more
Shall pass the moan or sigh.
3 Soon shall the trump of God
Give out the welcome sound
That shakes thy silent chamber walls,
And breaks the turf-sealed ground.
4 Ye dwellers in the dust.
Awake! come forth and sing;
Sharp has your frost of winter been,
But bright shall be your spring.
5 'Twas sown in weakness here,
'Twill then be raised in power;
That which was sown an earthly seed,
Shall rise a heavenly flower! Topics: Death and Resurrection Tune Title: SHAWMUT
Rest for the toiling hand
