"No more death"
Author: William B. Tappan Hymnal: Laudes Domini #555 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: There is an hour of peaceful rest Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of peaceful rest,
To mourning wanderers given;
There is a joy for souls distressed;
A balm for every wounded breast;
'Tis found above in heaven.
2 There is a home for weary souls,
By sin and sorrow driven,
When tossed on life's tempestuous shoals,
Where storms arise, and ocean rolls,
And all is drear but heaven.
3 There faith lifts up her cheerful eye
To brighter prospects given;
And views the tempest passing by,
The evening shadows quickly fly,
And all serene in heaven.
4 There fragrant flowers immortal bloom,
And joy supreme are given;
There rays divine disperse the gloom:
Beyond the confines of the tomb
Appears the dawn of heaven! Languages: English Tune Title: WOODLAND

Not our Rest
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Laudes Domini #569 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: This is not my place of resting Lyrics: 1 This is not my place of resting,
Mine's a city yet to come;
Onward to it I am hasting
On to my eternal home.
2 In it all is light and glory;
O'er it shines a nightless day:
Every trace of sin's sad story,
All the curse, hath passed away.
3 There the Lamb, our Shepherd, leads us
By the streams of life along,
On the freshest pastures feeds us,
Turns our sighing into song.
4 Soon we pass this desert dreary,
Soon we bid farewell to pain;
Never more are sad or weary,
Never, never sin again! Languages: English Tune Title: VESPER

Beautiful city that I love;
Beautiful gates of pearly white,
Beautiful temple God is light,
He who was slain on Calvary,
Opens those pearly gates to me.

Zion, Zion, lovely Zion,
Beautiful Zion, city of our God.
Zion, Zion, lovely Zion,
Beautiful Zion, city of our God.
2 Beautiful crowns on every brow,
Beautiful palms the conquerors show;
Beautiful robes the ransomed wear,
Beautiful all who enter there
Thither I press with eager feet;
There shall my rest be long and sweet. [Refrain]
3 Beautiful throne for Christ our King,
Beautiful songs the angels sing;
Beautiful rest all wanderings cease;
Beautiful home of perfect peace
There shall my eyes the Saviour see
Haste to his heavenly home with me. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: CORRIDOR HEIGHTS

The better portion
Author: Robert Seagrave Hymnal: Laudes Domini #566 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings,
Thy better portion trace;
Rise from transitory things
Toward heaven, thy native place:
Sun and moon and stars decay;
Time shall soon this earth remove;
Rise, my soul, and haste away
To seats prepared above.
2 Rivers to the ocean run,
Nor stay in all their course;
Fire ascending seeks the sun;
Both speed them to their source:
So a soul that's born of God,
Pants to view his glorious face;
Upward tends to his abode,
To rest in his embrace.
3 Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn,
Press onward to the prize;
Soon our Saviour will return
Triumphant in the skies:
Yet a season, and you know
Happy entrance will be given,
All our sorrows left below,
And earth exchanged for heaven. Languages: English Tune Title: AMSTERDAM

This is not my place of resting
On Jordan's rugged banks I stand
Author: Samuel Stennett Hymnal: Laudes Domini #561 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's rugged banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
Oh, the transporting, rapturous scene,
That rises to my sight!
Sweet fields arrayed in living green,
And rivers of delight!
2 O'er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God, the Son, for ever reigns,
And scatters night away.
No chilling winds, or poisonous breath,
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.
3 When shall I reach that happy place,
And be for ever blest?
When shall I see my Father's face,
And in his bosom rest?
Filled with delight, my raptured soul
Can here no longer stay;
Though Jordan's waves around me roll,
Fearless I'd launch away. Languages: English
On Jordan's rugged banks I stand
"Short toil"
Author: John M. Neale Hymnal: Laudes Domini #558 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Brief life is here our portion Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion;
Brief sorrow, short-lived care;
The life, that knows no ending,
The tearless life, is there:
Oh, happy retribution!
Short toil, eternal rest;
For mortals, and for sinners,
A mansion with the blest!
2 And there is David's fountain,
And life in fullest glow;
And there the light is golden,
And milk and honey flow;
The light, that hath no evening,
The health, that hath no sore,
The life, that hath no ending,
But lasteth evermore.
3 There Jesus shall embrace us,
There Jesus be embraced,
That spirit's food and sunshine;
Whence earthly love is chased:
Yes! God my King and Portion,
In fullness of his grace,
We then shall see for ever,
And worship face to face. Languages: English

There are mansions provided for me,
Where my soul in the fulness of joy shall awake
From its body of sin, to be free.
Refrain:
I shall go to that home by and by,
And my Saviour will welcome me there:
He will crown me with life, he will fill me with joy,
And his garment of love I shall wear.
2 When I weary of labor and toil,
And with sorrow my heart is oppressed,
Then my Saviour comes near, and I think with delight
Of the beautiful mansions of rest. [Refrain]
3 I have friends in those mansions above;
They are waiting me now on the shore;
And I know we shall meet at the portals of light,
When a few fleeting days shall be o'er. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: OLIM

"Who are these?"
Author: Frances E. Cox Hymnal: Laudes Domini #562 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Who are these like stars appearing Lyrics: 1 Who are these like stars appearing,
These, before God's throne who stand?
Each a golden crown is wearing;
Who are all this glorious band?
Alleluia! hark they sing,
Praising loud their heavenly King.
2 These are they who have contended
For their Saviour's honor long,
Wrestling on till life was ended,
Following not the sinful throng:
These, who well the fight sustained,
Triumph by the Lamb have gained.
3 These are they whose hearts were riven,
Sore with woe and anguish tried,
Who is prayer full oft have striven
With the God they glorified;
Now, their painful conflict o'er,
God has bid them weep no more.
4 These, like priests, have watched and waited,
Offering up to Christ their will,
Soul and body consecrated,
Day and night they serve him still:
Now in God's most holy place,
Blest they stand before his face.
5 Lo, the Lamb himself now feeds them,
On Mount Sion's pastures fair;
From his central throne he leads them
By the living fountains there:
Lamb and Shepherd, Good Supreme,
Free he gives the cooling stream. Languages: English Tune Title: CAERSALEM
