My rest is in heaven, my rest is not here

Hymnal: Kind Words #85 (1871) Lyrics: 1 My rest is in heaven, my rest is not here, Then why should I murmur when trials are near? Be hush'd my sad spirit, the worst that can come, But shortens my journey, and hastens me home. Chorus: Home, home, sweet, sweet home, Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home. 2 It is not for me to be seeking my bliss, And building my hopes in a region like this; I look for a city which hands have not piled, I pant for a country by sin undefiled. [Chorus] 3 The thorn and the thistle around me may grow, I would not sit down upon roses below; I ask not my portion, I seek not my rest, Until I shall find them in Jesus' kind breast. [Chorus] 4 Afflictions may oppress me they cannot destroy; One glimpse of His love turns them all into joy; The bitterest tears, if He smile but on them, Like dew in the sunshine, grow diamond and gem. [Chorus] 5 Let doubt, then, and danger my progress oppose, They only make heaven more sweet at its close; Come joy, or come sorrow, whate'er may befall, One hour with my God will make up for them all.

Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #512 (1886) Lyrics: 1 My rest is in heaven, my rest is not here, Then why should I tremble when trials are near? Be hushed, my sad spirit, the worst that can come But shortens my journey, and hastens me home. 2 It is not for me to be seeking my bliss, Or building my hopes in a region like this; I look for a city that hands have not piled, I pant for a country by sin undefiled. 3 The thorn and the thistle around me may grow, I would not lie down upon roses below; I ask not my portion, I seek not my rest, Till I find them forever on Jesus' breast. 4 Afflictions may press me, they cannot destroy; One glimpse of his love turns them all into joy; And the bitterest tears, if he smile but on them, Like dew in the sunshine, grow diamond and gem. 5 Let doubt, then, and danger, my progress oppose, They only make heaven more sweet at its close; Come joy, or come sorrow, whate'er may befall, An hour with my God will make up for them all. 6 A scrip on my back, and a staff in my hand, I march on in haste through an enemy's land; The road may be rough, but it cannot be long; I'll smooth it with hope, and I'll cheer it with song.
