MHB 825 – THE saints of God! their conflict past

Methodist-Hymns-825

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 your rest!

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 your rest!

3:  The saints of God! life’s voyage o’er,
Safe landed on that blissful shore,
No stormy tempest now they dread,
No roaring billows lift their head:
O happy saints! for ever blest,
In that calm haven of your rest.

4:  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.
