He Giveth His Children Rest

William A. Ogden • English

Primary Scripture: Hebrews 4:9

Verse 1

In the mansions eternal, Jesus is there our home to prepare; In the mansions eternal, “He giveth His children rest.” Tenderly He calls to thee, “Heavy laden, come to me;” Trusting in His power divine, Endless life is thine.

Chorus

In the mansions eternal, Jesus is there our hope to prepare; In the mansions eternal, “He giveth His children rest.”

Verse 2

In the mansions eternal, Sorrow and care ne’er entereth there; In the mansions eternal, “He giveth His children rest.” Winds and waves obey His will, When He murmurs, “Peace, be still;” Troubled heart with sorrow pressed, He will give thee rest.

Chorus

In the mansions eternal, Jesus is there our hope to prepare; In the mansions eternal, “He giveth His children rest.”

Verse 3

In the mansions eternal, Faithful and sure His promises are; In the mansions eternal, “He giveth His children rest.” Though a pilgrim here below, Onward to my home I go, To the land forever bright; Jesus is its light.

Chorus

In the mansions eternal, Jesus is there our hope to prepare; In the mansions eternal, “He giveth His children rest.”
