He is fitting up my mansion, Which eternally shall stand, For my stay shall not be transient In that holy, happy land.

Sing, O sing ye heirs of glory! Shout your triumph as you go! Zion's gates will open for you, You shall find an entrance through.

There is rest for the weary, There is rest for the weary, There is rest for the weary, There is rest for you. On the other side of Jordan, In the sweet fields of Eden, Where the tree of life is blooming, There is rest for you.
