Forever Blest
Lyrics
Sweet land of rest for thee I sigh, When will the moments come, When I shall lay my armor by, And dwell with Christ at home. Chorus: Come sinner to the gospel feast And be forever blest. No tranquil joys on earth I know, No peaceful shelt’ring dome; This world’s a wilderness of woe, This world is not my home. (Chorus) Weary of wand’ring round and round This vale of sin and gloom, I long to leave the unhallowed ground, And dwell with Christ at home. (Chorus) When we’ve been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun; We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise, Than when we first begun. (Chorus)
