1 Are you tired of sin and sorrow?
Does your cross seem hard to bear?
There is rest in the Lord;
Cease to roam in sin’s dark valley,
And renounce your load of care.
There is rest in the Lord.

Refrain:
There is rest in the Lord,
There is rest in the Lord,
Bid farewell to sin and sorrow,
Close your eyes to worldly joys,
There is rest in the Lord.

2 Peace you will not find while roving,
For the world no peace can give,
There is rest in the Lord;
Come repenting and believing,
Choose a better life to live.
There is rest in the Lord. [Refrain]

3 Linger not with Satan’s forces,
Doubting what he’s promised you,
There is rest in the Lord;
Conquer all your fears and doubtings,
Come and join the faithful few,
There is rest in the Lord. [Refrain]
