REST IN HEAVEN.

By Gettie W. Davis

“There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.” Heb. 4:9.
THERE is a land of quiet rest Beyond the tomb, A land where flowers forever grow In fadeless bloom.
No wintry blast, or scorching heat, Shall enter there, Or fear of death shall fill the heart With dark despair.
Within those calm and peaceful shades, Sin may not come, Nor aught that can destroy or hurt, There find a home.
No mortal foot hath ever trod That city bright, Its glory hath not been revealed To mortal sight.
But unto him who overcomes, It will be given To share the never-fading joys, And bliss of Heaven.
When this dark night of doubt and grief Is changed to day, Then God, with his soft hand, shall wipe All tears away,
And saints immortal, from their graves Victorious rise, To dwell forever in thy bowers, O Paradise!
