Author: Mrs. C. L. Shacklock Hymnal: The Finest of the Wheat #140 (1890) First Line: After the toil and turmoil Refrain First Line: Rest, sweet rest for the weary Lyrics: 1 After the toil and turmoil,
After the strife is past,
Cometh the peace God giveth,—
Cometh the rest at last.
Refrain:
Rest, sweet rest for the weary,
After the toil and pain,
Sleep for the well-beloved,
Crowns will the victors gain.
2 They who have fought and conquer’d,
Waging a war with sin,
Into the heavenly city
Gladly will enter in. [Refrain]
3 Rest for the worn and weary,
Shelter for all the lost,
And in the blessed haven,
Anchor the tempest-tossed. [Refrain] Tune Title: [After the toil and turmoil]
Rest in Heaven
