Sacred Rest

By John Francis Olmsted

By John Francis Olmsted

THE rich and poor, the old and young, Whate'er their station be, May have a place of sacred rest Beyond life's stormy sea, Where angels bow before the throne And join in anthems sweet, Where cherubs cast celestial crowns Before the Saviour's feet.

With joy divine the angels sing Of His unchanging love, Of peace and rest which heaven gives To all who dwell above; This happy hope extended here Beneath the heavens high To all who yield their hearts and lives To Christ the Saviour nigh.

Lift up your heads, ye chosen ones, And look to Christ and live; For He will shield and shelter us When we allegiance give. Then why should we discouraged be If Satan tempts us sore? He ne'er can conquer Christ the Lord, Whom we shall e'er adore!
