THE LAND OF REST.

vi isi1oA
THERE is a land of glorious rest,
Where pure and happy spirits roves
For ever and for ever blest,
The land Of spotless joy and love.
o yes, there is land of rest,
Free from corroding grief and care
NO storms, no dangers there modest,
Nor discord once shall enter there.
The land of rest-the land of Joy,
Where quenchless glores meet and shine,
And fit for angels its employ,
For all its pleasures are divine.
There is no land of rest beside
But where is this blest region foundl
1t is not bound by ocean tide,
1t is not upon earthly ground.
IT'S where bright angels sweep the lyrcs
And spirits of the just repose
It's where the seraph's living fire
With undiminisiied ardour glows.
Blest land, methinks see thee noWy
All smiling in perennial bloom,
With rapture thron'd on every brow,
And flowers that breathe divine Perfume
Then hail TO thee, thou land of rest,
And hail thy harps of hottest strains,
And hail those crowns that grace the blest,
Who rove along thy hai.py plains.
But all that land of rest is far,
And dark and trackless is the road;
Yet IlopE, bright and glorious star,
Points onward to the dear abode.
Then what though stormy be the way,
Though winds and surges beat and rear,
They only drive from earth away,
And urge to that celestial shore;
And mid the storm that voice is hest.
That whispers, " There's Land Of Rest"
