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.
