Hymn 493 – REST abound in heaven but nay here on earth | C&S English Hymnary

1. REST abound in heaven but nay here on earth Why O! would I murmour when trials are come Rest oh my gentle soul, what e'er comes my way My sojourn cut to brief to quicken me home. 2. Not due nor fit for me, to rest here below And my castle to build here on earth below I thirst for the mansion not manually built Hoping for sacred life all devoid of sin. 3. Even though thorns and weeds, me, all to sorround Yet will I not repose my trust on the world No respite do I seek here on planet earth Till I unto Jesus, may rest is assured. 4. Tribulation may rage, my soul not to claim By the love of Jesus, joyful hymns I'll rend With His smile, our weeping to joy shall all turn Just as the whirlwind to disipate the rain AMEN
