There Is Rest in the Lord

lyricist: George Winningham, 1914
Composer: George Stapleton

Are you tired of sin and sor­row?

Does your cross seem hard to bear?

There is rest in the Lord;

Cease to roam in sin’s dark val­ley

And re­nounce your load of care.

There is rest in the Lord.

There is rest in the Lord

There is rest in the Lord

Bid fare­well to sin and sor­row

Close your eyes to world­ly joys

There is rest in the Lord.

Peace you will not find while rov­ing

For the world no peace can give

There is rest in the Lord;

Come re­pent­ing and be­liev­ing

Choose a bet­ter life to live.

There is rest in the Lord.

Linger not with Sa­tan’s forc­es

Doubting what God pro­mised you

There is rest in the Lord;

Conquer all your fears and doubt­ings

Come and join the faith­ful few

There is rest in the Lord.

There is rest in the Lord

There is rest in the Lord

Bid fare­well to sin and sor­row

Close your eyes to world­ly joys

There is rest in the Lord.

Peace you will not find while rov­ing

For the world no peace can give

There is rest in the Lord;

Come re­pent­ing and be­liev­ing

Choose a bet­ter life to live.

There is rest in the Lord.

Linger not with Sa­tan’s forc­es

Doubting what God pro­mised you

There is rest in the Lord;

Conquer all your fears and doubt­ings

Come and join the faith­ful few

There is rest in the Lord.
