Rest in the Lord: the strife of war is past, Wear now the wreath of victory at last; E'en death is slain -- the cross of Christ sufficed, Death is not death, to those who live in Christ. Rest in the Lord: the goal of life is won, To thee 'tis given to hear the glad "Well done"; Great their reward who, till their Lord appear, Serve in the vineyard of the Master, here. Rest in the Lord: none can His honour claim, They honour have, who honour most His name; Thine this reward, who counted gain but loss, Nor felt it shame to glory in the cross. Rest in the Lord: swift comes the happy time When we who strive shall reach Thy fairer clime; Christ, give us welcome when the toil is past, And bring us to the bliss of heaven at last. |
