The Saints of God! Their Conflict Past
"That they may rest from their labors." - Rev 14:13
VERSE 1
The saints of God! their conflict past,
And life's long battle won at last,
No more they need the shield or sword;
They cast them down before their Lord;
O happy saints! for ever blest;
At Jesus feet how safe their rest!
VERSE 2
The saints of God! their wanderings done,
No more their weary course they run,
No more they faint, no more they fall,
No foes oppress, no fears appal;
O happy saints! for ever blest,
In that dear home, how sweet their rest!
VERSE 3
The saints of God! life's voyage o'er,
Safe landed on that blissful shore,
No stormy tempests now they dread,
No roaring billows lift their head;
O happy saints! for ever blest,
The great things He hath done.
VERSE 4
The saints of God their vigil keep
While yet their mortal bodies sleep,
Till from the dust they too shall rise.
And soar triumphant to the skies;
O happy saints! rejoice and sing:
He quickly comes, our Lord and King.
VERSE 5
O God of saints, to Thee we cry;
O Saviour, plead for us on high;
O Holy Ghost, our Guide and Friend,
Grant us Thy grace till life shall end:
That with all saints our rest may be
In that bright paradise with Thee.
