1 There’s a region above,
Free from sin and temptation,
And a mansion of love
For each heir of salvation.
Then dismiss all thy fears,
Weary pilgrim of sorrow;
Tho' thy sun set in tears,
'Twill rise brighter tomorrow.
2 There our toils will be done,
And free grace be our story;
God himself be our sun,
And our unsetting glory.
In that world of delight,
Spring shall never be ended;
Nor shall shadows nor night
With its brightness be blended.
Rogers, Rev. George. (1805--July 6, 1846, Cincinnati, Ohio). A Universalist minister, author and editor. He published a Universalist Hymn Book in 1845, in which he included 26 hymns which he had written. Four of his hymns are included in Church Harmonies: New and Old, 1895:

4. There is a Sabbath rest, O Lord
