Christ My Song - 2288
This is not my place of resting - Rest Yonder
(Horatius Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Rest Yonder.
1. This is not my place of resting,
mine's a city yet to come;
onwards to it I am hasting,
on to my eternal home. PDF - Midi
2. In it all is light and glory,
o'er it shines a nightless day;
every trace of sin's sad story,
all the curse has passed away.
3. There the Lamb our Shepherd leads us,
by the streams of life along;
on the freshest pastures feeds us,
turns our sighing into song.
4. Soon we pass this desert dreary,
soon we bid farewell to pain;
never more be sad and weary,
never, never sin again.
Horatius Bonar, Hymns of Faith and Hope I, 1878, 39-40.
