Rest By And By

Arrangement of the hymn Rest Over Jordan
by Fanny Crosby - (Music unknown)

'Tis a blessed hope, and it cheers my soul,
That I shall rest, sweetly rest, by and by.
When my work is done and my crown is won,
Then I shall rest, sweetly rest by and by.

'Tis a blessed hope which my Saviour gives,
That I shall rest, sweetly rest, by and by.
I shall see Him there in His mansion fair,
When I rest, sweetly rest by and by.

With a steadfast faith I shall labor on,
That I may rest, sweetly rest by and by.
O what joy 'twill be the redeemed to see,
When I rest, sweetly rest, by and by.

Refrain

By and by, By and by, I shall rest,
Sweetly rest by and by;
'Tis a precious hope, 'tis a blessed hope,
That I shall rest, sweetly rest by and by.
