Thou shalt rest at eve

Author: Mrs. E. W. Chapman Hymnal: The Finest of the Wheat #155 (1890) First Line: Onward press, tho' faint and weary Refrain First Line: Rest on the beautiful shore Lyrics: 1 Onward press, tho’ faint and weary, Droop not ‘neath the parching sun, Onward thro’ the desert dreary, Till the day is won; Tho’ by feet be worn and bleeding, Ne’er the narrow pathway leave, Thro’ thy Savior’s interceding, Thou shall rest at eve. Refrain: Rest on the beautiful shore, Where no sorrow thy breast can heave, Yes, on the bright beautiful shore, Thou shall rest at eve, Thou shall rest at eve. 2 Duties wait for the fulfilling, Let thy full strength go to each, With an earnest heart, and willing, Labor, pray, and teach; Falter not beneath thy burden, Jesus’ precious word believe, Faith presents the promised guerdon, Thou shall rest at eve. [Refrain] 3 Tho’ the promise long may tarry, And the way seems dark and drear, Gloomy doubts and fears still parry, Night will soon be here; Saved ones wait beyond the river, They no longer sin or grieve, With them, in the bright forever, Thou shall rest at eve. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Onward press, though faint and weary]
