Resting at Home

Laura E. Newell • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 11:28

Verse 1

They watch and wait beyond death’s sea, Beside the gate of heav’n for thee; And when at last the day is done, Thou’lt meet them there, the conquest won.

Chorus

Resting at home, never to roam, Glad in his love, resting at home, Never to roam, never to roam, Glad in his love, resting at home.

Verse 2

The silent stream of death they past, Nor dream of woe of earth’s cold blast; But when the flow’rs are even fair, The ones we love wait over there.

Chorus

Resting at home, never to roam, Glad in his love, resting at home, Never to roam, never to roam, Glad in his love, resting at home.

Verse 3

The moments glide, day swiftly fly, Time’s restless tide is sweeping by; But soon shall dawn a golden day, When time and toil have passed away.

Chorus

Resting at home, never to roam, Glad in his love, resting at home, Never to roam, never to roam, Glad in his love, resting at home.
