Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1367 (1886) Lyrics: 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]
