And is there, Lord, a rest

1

And is there, Lord, a restFor weary souls designed,Where not a care shall stir the breast,Or sorrow entrance find?

2

Is there a blissful home,Where kindred minds shall meet,And live, and love, nor ever roamFrom that serene retreat?

3

My soul would thither tend,While toilsome years are given;Then let me, gracious God, ascendTo sweet repose in heaven!
