1 Come, schoolmates, do not weary,
But let us journey on,
The moments will not tarry,
This life will soon be gone,

Chorus:
There is sweet rest in heav'n,
There is sweet rest in heav'n,
There is sweet rest,
There is sweet rest,
There is sweet rest in heav'n.
There is sweet rest in heav'n,
There is sweet rest in heav'n,
There is sweet rest,
There is sweet rest,
There is sweet rest in heav'n.

2 We've listed in the army,
We've listed for the war;
We'll fight until we conquer,
By faith and humble pray'r. [Chorus]

3 Our Captain's gone before us,
He kindly bids us come;
In yonder world of glory,
He's made for us a home. [Chorus]

4 Our Jesus will be with us,
E'en to the journey's end;
In every sore affliction
A "present help" to lend. [Chorus]

5 We bless the name of Jesus,
Who bought us with his blood;
All glory be to Jesus.
Who gives us every good. [Chorus]
