The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#1367

1367. This is not my place of resting

1 This is not my place of resting,
Mine's a city yet to come;
Onward to it I am hast'ning,
On to my eternal home.

Refrain:
There is rest yonder, there is rest yonder,
There is rest in that happy land;
There is rest yonder, there is rest yonder,
There is rest in that happy land.

2 In it all is light and glory,
O'er it shines a nightless day;
Every trace of sin's sad story
All the curse has passed away, [Refrain]

3 There the Lamb, our Shepherd, leads us
By the stream of life along,
On the freshest pastures feeds us,
Turns our sighing into song. [Refrain]

4 Soon we pass this desert dreary,
Soon we bid farewell to pain,
Nevermore are sad and weary,
Never, never sin again! [Refrain]
