There is a place of sacred rest
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #992 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 There is a place of sacred rest,
Far, far beyond the skies,
Where beauty smiles eternally,
And pleasure never dies;
My Father's house, my heavenly home,
Where many mansions stand,
Prepared, by hands divine, for all
Who seek the better land.
2 When tossed upon the waves of life,
With fear on every side,
When fiercely howls the gathering storm,
And foams the angry tide,
Beyond the storm, beyond the gloom,
Breaks forth the light of morn,
Bright beaming from my Father's house,
To cheer the soul forlorn.
3 In that pure home of tearless joy
Earth's parted friends shall meet,
With smiles of love that never fade,
And blessedness complete.
There, there adieus are sounds unknown;
Death frowns not on that scene,
But life and glorious beauty shine,
Untroubled and serene. Tune Title: OAKLEY
There is a place of sacred rest
O sweetly through the gloomy years
Author: H. L. Hastings Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #994 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 O sweetly through the gloomy years
That roll their dimming vail between,
The promised goodly land appears
Arrayed in never fading green.
And from that peaceful, happy clime,
Transporting bursts of song arise,
And, rolling through the mist of time,
Tell us of joy that never dies.
2 As voyagers on the stormy deep
Look for some bright and sunny bay
Where winds and waves are hushed in sleep,
And joy lights up the happy day,
So o'er the tossing sea of years
We glance the eye and stretch the hand
Where, robed in fadeless light, appears
The border of the shining land.
3 There angel hosts of glorious ones,
With sinless hearts and stainless hands,
Call us in glad and loving tones,
And bid us welcome to their bands.
Hark! how their harps and voices tell
The glories of that radiant strand,
And bid us breast the waves that swell
Between us and the shining land.
4 Ear hath not heard, eye hath not seen,
The glories of that home of song;
Though stormy billows roll between,
I go to join the angel throng.
But of the joys beyond the tide,
The welcomes on that golden strand,
The best shall be from Him who died
To bring me to the shining land. Tune Title: ETHAN
O sweetly through the gloomy years
Whence came the armies of the sky
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #995 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 Whence came the armies of the sky,
John saw in vision bright?
Whence came their crowns, their robes, their palms,
Too pure for mortal sight?
Chorus:
They looked like men in uniform,
They looked like men of war;
They all were clad in armor bright,
And conquering palms they bore.
2 Were these tried soldiers of the cross
Victorious in the fight?
Were these the trophies they had won,
Reserved in worlds of light? [Chorus]
3 Once they were mourners here below,
And poured out cries and tears;
They wrestled hard, as we do now,
With sins, and doubts, and fears. [Chorus]
4 They saw the star of Bethlehem
Arise in splendor bright;
They followed long its guiding ray,
Till beamed a clearer light. [Chorus]
5 From desert waste, and cities full,
From dungeons dark, they've come,
And now they claim their mansion fair,
They've found their long-sought home. [Chorus] Tune Title: REMEMBER ME
Whence came the armies of the sky
Beautiful Zion, built above
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #996 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 Beautiful Zion, built above,
Beautiful city that I love,
Beautiful gates of pearly white,
Beautiful temple, God its light,
2 Beautiful trees forever there,
Beautiful fruit they always bear,
Beautiful rivers gliding by,
Beautiful fountains never dry,
3 Beautiful light without the sun,
Beautiful day revolving on,
Beautiful worlds on worlds untold,
Beautiful streets of shining gold,
4 Beautiful crowns on every brow,
Beautiful palms the conquerors show,
Beautiful robes the ransomed wear,
Beautiful all who enter there,
5 Beautiful throne of God, the Lamb,
Beautiful seats at his right hand,
Beautiful rest, all wanderings cease,
Beautiful home of perfect peace. Tune Title: BEAUTIFUL ZION
Beautiful Zion, built above
Jerusalem, the golden
Author: Bernard of Cluny Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #998 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden,
With milk and honey blest,
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice oppressed:
I know not, O I know not
What holy joys are there;
What radiancy of glory,
What bliss beyond compare.
2 They stand, those halls of Zion,
All jubilant with song,
And bright with many an angel
And all the martyr throng:
The Prince is ever in them,
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed
Are decked in glorious sheen.
3 There is the throne of David,
And there, from care released,
The song of them that triumph,
The shout of them that feast;
And they who, with their Leader,
Have conquered in the fight,
Forever and forever
Are clad in robes of white.
4 O sweet and blessed country,
The home of God's elect!
O sweet and blessed country,
That eager hearts expect!
Jesus, in mercy bring us
To that dear land of rest;
Who art, with God the Father,
And Spirit, ever blest. Tune Title: EWING
Jerusalem, the golden
There is rest for the weary
Author: S. F. Harmer Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1002 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints First Line: In the Christian's home in glory Lyrics: 1 In the Christian's home in glory,
There remains a land of rest;
And my Saviour's gone before me
To fulfill my soul's request.
Refrain:
There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for you;
On the other side of Jordan,
In the sweet fields of Eden,
Where the tree of life is blooming,
There is rest for you.
2 He is fitting up my mansion
Which eternally shall stand,
For my stay shall not be transient
In that holy, happy land. [Refrain]
3 Pain or sickness ne'er shall enter,
Grief nor woe my lot shall share;
But in that celestial center,
I a crown of life shall wear. [Refrain]
4 Death itself shall then be vanquished,
And its sting shall be withdrawn;
Shout for gladness, O ye ransomed!
Hail with joy the rising morn. [Refrain]
5 Sing, O sing, ye heirs of glory,
Shout your triumph as you go;
Zion's gates will open for you,
You shall find an entrance through. [Refrain] Tune Title: REST FOR THE WEARY
There is rest for the weary
There is a land, a better land than this
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1003 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 There is a land, a better land than this,
There's my home, there's my home!
A land of pure, unbounded, perfect bliss,
There's my home, there's my home.
A captive on this desert shore,
I long to count my exile o'er,
And be where sorrows come no more;
There's my home, there's my home.
2 Far, far I am from my own happy shore,
I would go, I would go;
But yet my days of exile are not o'er:
I would go, I would go.
I would not stay though earth were mine;
Though all its treasures for me shine,
A captive here I still would pine:
I would go, I would go.
3 Bright visions of that blissful land appear,
There's my home, there's my home,
How long a pilgrim must I wander here?
There's my home, there's my home.
O tell me that I soon shall be,
With all the ransomed exiles, free,
In that blest land I long to see:
There's my home, there's my home.
4 There is a land, a brighter land than this,
Joys are there, joys are there;
No pain or sorrow, sickness or distress,
Reaches there, reaches there.
Bright fields of pleasure greet the eye,
And crystal streams that never dry;
O give me wings! I now would fly,
And be there, and be there. Tune Title: BETTER LAND
There is a land, a better land than this
Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning!
Author: Thomas Hastings Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1004 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning!
Joy to the lands that in darkness have lain!
Hushed be the accents of sorrow and mourning:
Zion, in triumph, begins her mild reign.
2 Lo, in the desert, rich flowers are springing;
Streams ever copious are gliding along;
Loud, from the mountain-tops echoes are ringing;
Wastes rise in verdure, and mingle in song.
3 See, the dead risen from land and from ocean;
Praise to Jehovah, ascending on high;
Fallen are the engines of war and commotion,
Shouts of salvation are rending the sky. Tune Title: HAIL TO THE BRIGHTNESS
Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning!
Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness
Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1005 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness;
Awake, for thy foes shall oppress thee no more.
Bright, o'er thy hills, dawns the day-star of gladness,
Arise, for the night of thy sorrow is o'er.
Chorus:
Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness;
Awake for thy foes shall oppress thee no more.
2 Strong were thy foes; but the arm that subdued them,
And scattered their legions, was mightier far;
They fled like the chaff from the scourge that pursued them;
In vain were their steeds and their chariots of war. [Chorus]
3 Daughter of Zion, the power that hath saved thee,
Extolled with the harp and the timbrel shall be:
Shout; for the foe is destroyed that enslaved thee,
The oppressor is vanquished, and Zion is free. [Chorus] Tune Title: DAUGHTER OF ZION
Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness
Glorious things of thee are spoken
Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1007 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God!
He whose word cannot be broken,
Formed thee for his own abode:
On the Rock of Ages founded,
What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
Thou mayest smile at all thy foes.
2 See! the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal love,
Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove:
Who can faint while such a river
Ever flows their thirst to assuage?
Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver,
Never fails from age to age.
3 Round each habitation hovering,
See the cloud and fire appear
For a glory and a covering,
Showing that the Lord is near!
Thus deriving from their banner
Light by night and shade by day,
Safe they feed upon the manna
Which he gives them when they pray.
Tune Title: FREDERICK
Glorious things of thee are spoken
