'Neath Elim's Cooling Palms

Author: Benjamin Frankln Bristow Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12822 First Line: We are toiling onward, hand in hand Refrain First Line: Though the waves loudly roar Lyrics: 1 We are toiling onward, hand in hand; We are toiling for the promised land; Come and join our weary pilgrim band, We shall rest ’neath Elim’s cooling palms. Refrain: Though the waves loudly roar, We shall pass safely o’er, To the bright, happy shore of the blest; By the clear silver gleam Of the life giving stream, We shall rest ’neath Elim’s cooling palms. 2 By the swelling waters, clear and sweet, After toiling through the desert’s heat, We shall rest our worn and weary feet, We shall rest ’neath Elim’s cooling palms. [Refrain] 3 There will be no dark and dreary night, We shall rest forever from the fight; We shall dwell forever in the light, We shall rest ’neath Elim’s cooling palms. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [We are toiling onward, hand in hand]
