HYMN 493

C.M.S 510 t.H.C 336 11s (FE 516)
Tune:  Jesu emi o fi okan mi fun O



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
