Eternal Rest

By John Francis Olmsted

JOHN FRANCIS OLMSTED
WHAT sacred rest the Sabbath brings To all who would recline Upon the Saviour's arm of strength, Who crave his care divine.
Life's trials may have vexed the heart, But rest e'er brings relief; We gladly give our troubles o'er, And turn away from grief.
We seek that rest which heaven gives E'en while we labor here; We hail the Sabbath's sacred hours, And trust its Author near.
The Sabbath day a symbol is Of joys and rest divine In that enduring world to come, Where truth shall ever shine.
