SHALL WE REST AT LAST ?

Shall we rest beyond the river, When the rolling waves are past? Shall we meet no more to sever? Shall we reach the shore at last?

Care-worn soldier, grasp thine armor, Wield the sword in Jesus' name: For the battle makes thee stronger, Jesus comes and thou shalt reign.

Is thy heart oft sad and weary, While you battle for the right, Does the world look dark and dreary, Like the gathering shades of night?

Lift thine eyes; behold the morning Breaks in gleaming beams of light: Hear the watchmen sound the warning— Jesus comes in glory bright.

Though thine eyes are dim with weeping, And thy friends desert thy side; Though thy friends in death are sleeping, You shall rest beyond the tide.

You shall rest beyond the river When your warfare shall be past. You shall rest, yes, rest forever, In that blessed land at last,
