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