There is rest in heaven but not in this world Shall I grumble when tribulation threaten; Take rest my soul; mind not whate’er happens Tho’ my journey shortens, I am homeward bound.
Time amest not for me to take my rest here, And to build my solace now here in the world I thirst after the Divine dwelling above I am looking towards a world quite sinless.
My life may be surrounded by many thorns, Nay I shall never put my trust in my world For I look not for a resting dwelling here Till I shall find a complete rest in Jesus.
Though tribulations come, they shall not prevail, Only Jesus love could change sadness to joy His smiles only can turn sorrow to laughter As when the mighty winds blow rain clouds away. Amen.
