Valley of Rest

Valley of Ed­en

be­yond the sea

Haven of rest

tran­quil and blest

Anchored for­ev­er we soon shall be

Gathered with Je­sus to rest;

Songs of the ran­somed are float­ing in air

Wafted to earth from thy re­gion so fair;

Angels are ten­der­ly call­ing us there

Calling the wea­ry to rest.

Come

come

come

come

Weary and sor­row op­pressed;

Come

come

come

come

Come to this val­ley of rest.

Valley of Ed­en

the soul’s dear home

Bright are thy hills

peace­ful thy rills;

Happy for­ev­er we soon shall roam

Over thy bright bloom­ing hills;

Thine are the beau­ties that nev­er de­cay

Thine is a light of a sha­dow­less day;

Voices of loved ones are call­ing away

Home to thy bright bloom­ing hills.

Valley of Ed­en

be­yond the sea

Lovely thy bow­ers

fade­less thy flow­ers;

Valley of Ed­en

we dream of thee

Dream of thy beau­ti­ful bow­ers.

Friends that were part­ed with rap­ture shall meet

Casting their crowns at Im­ma­nu­el’s feet:

Still the glad voic­es of an­gels re­peat

Come to the val­ley of flow­ers.
