Joyful Lays ‎#57

57. Rest and Home

1 Waiting still whate’er betide,
Oft in toilsome paths and wide,
Till the blessed eventide
Bring me rest, sweet rest and home.

Refrain:
Rest and home, sweet rest and home;
Dear heavenly home;
Day by day I nearer come
To my rest and home.

2 Waiting till the war shall cease,
And the warrior find release,
‘Till the evening time of peace
Bring me rest, sweet rest and home. [Refrain]

3 Waiting still I cannot fear,
With my Saviour always near,
‘Till the victory’s song of cheer
Bring me rest, sweet rest and home. [Refrain]
