This
piece by Benjamin M.
Culli paints a beautiful
image of heaven. Arranged
for SATB and piano, Culli
treats the text with a
lyrical tune and
supportive piano
accompaniment. The piece
builds and modulates in
the middle section, then
finishes quietly in the
original key. A moving
selection for All Saints'
Day.
A rest
remains for all the
weary;
Arise
, sad heart, and grieve
no
more;
Though
long the way, and dark
and
dreary,
It
opens to the golden
shore.
Befor
e His throne the Lamb
will lead
you,
On
heav'nly pastures He will
feed
you,
Cast
off your burden, come
with
haste;
Soon
toil and strife will be
unraveled,
T
he weary way that you
have
traveled,
Sw
eet is the rest that you
will taste.
The Father's house
has many a
dwelling,
An
d there for you a place
will
be.
With
perfect love His heart is
welling
Who
loved you from
eternity.
Hi
s precious blood the Lamb
has
given
That
you may share the joys of
heaven,
And
now He calls out far and
near:
'You
weary souls, cast off
your
sorrow;
My
light shines bright upon
the
morrow.
Come
, sweetest rest awaits
you here!'
There rest and
peace in endless
measure
Will
be ours through
eternity;
No
grief, no care, will mar
our
pleasure,
An
d untold joy our lot will
be.
Oh, had
we wings to hasten
yonder—
No more this sinful
world to
ponder—
To join the glad,
triumphant
band!
Arise,
my soul, forget all
sadness,
For
peace awaits you, joy and
gladness—
The perfect rest and
promised land.
