C. M.

O land of rest for thee I sigh,
When will the moments come,
When I shall lay my armor by,
And dwell in peace at home?

 Chorus

We will wait till Jesus comes,
Well wait till Jesus comes,
Well wait till Jesus comes,
And well be gathered home.

No tranquil joys on earth I know,
No peaceful, sheltering dome;
This worlds a wilderness of woe,
This world is not my home.

Chorus...

 To Jesus Christ I sought for rest,
He bade me cease to roam;
And fly for succor to his breast,
And hed conduct me home.

Chorus..

 Weary of wandering round and round,
This vale of sin and gloom,
I long to leave th unhallowed ground
And dwell with Christ at home.
