Resting By and By (EN 5473)

EN 5473 Resting By and By

Heb.4.11

Versi Version 1

1

When faint and weary toiling,

The sweat-drops on my brow,

I long to rest for labor,

To drop the burden now—

There comes a gentle chiding,

To quell each mourning sigh:

“Work while the day is shining,

There’s resting by and by.”

Resting by and by,

There’s resting by and by;

We shall not always labor,

We shall not always cry;

The end is drawing nearer,

The end for which we sigh;

We’ll lay our heavy burdens down,

There’s resting by and by.

2

This life to toil is given,

And he improves it best

Who seeks by patient labor

To enter into rest;

Then pilgrim, worn and weary,

Press on, the goal is nigh;

The prize is straight before thee,

There’s resting by and by.

3

Nor ask when overburdened,

You long for friendly aid,

“Why idle stands my brother,

No yoke upon him laid?”

The Master bids him tarry;

And dare you ask Him why?

“Go labor in My vineyard,

There’s resting by and by.”

4

Wan reaper in the harvest,

Let this thy strength sustain,

Each sheaf that fills the garner

Brings you eternal gain;

Then bear the cross with patience,

To fields of duty hie;

’Tis sweet to work for Jesus—

There’s resting by and by.
