From this bleak hill of storms,
To yon warm sunny heights,
Where love for ever shines,
Pass over to thy rest,
The rest of God!
From hunger and from thirst,
From toil and weariness,
From shadows and from dreams,
Pass over to thy rest,
The rest of God!
From tides, and winds, and waves,
From shipwrecks of the deep,
From parted anchors here,
Pass over to thy rest,
The rest of God!
From weakness and from pain,
From trembling and from strife,
From watchings and from fears,
Pass over to thy rest,
The rest of God!
From vanity and lies,
From mockery and snares,
From disappointed hopes,
Pass over to thy rest,
The rest of God!
From falsehoods of the age,
From broken ties and hearts,
From suns gone down at noon,
Pass over to thy rest,
The rest of God!
From unrealities,
From hollow scenes of change,
From ache and emptiness,
Pass over to thy rest,
The rest of God!
From this unanchored world,
Whose morrow none can tell,
From all things restless here,
Pass over to thy rest,
The rest of God!
