Hymns We Love, for Sunday Schools and All Devotional Meetings ‎#102

102. Rest, Beloved, Rest

1 Beloved one, thy earthly work is finished,
No pain or grief shall e’er thy soul molest;
Thy voyage oft was dark, but thou wast faithful,
O rest, beloved one, forever rest!

Refrain:
O rest, beloved, rest,
The Master saith, “Well done,”
And now among the blest,
O rest, beloved rest.

2 Beloved one, our hearts with grief are riven,
As now we look upon thy form so blest,
But soon, oh! soon we’ll meet thee with the angels,
O rest, beloved one, forever rest! [Refrain]

3 Beloved one, so free from earthly conflicts,
Repose in peace upon thy Saviour’s breast;
Farewell, farewell, until we cross the river,
O rest, beloved one, forever rest! [Refrain]
