Couplet 1

Our rest is in heaven
Our rest is not here
Then why should we tremble
When trials draw near

Couplet 2

Be still and remember
The worst that can come
But shortens our journey
And hastens us home

Refrain

Christ our glory
Christ our hope
Christ our King forevermore

Be still and remember
The worst that can come
But shortens our journey
And hastens us home

Couplet 3

No hours should be wasted
On seeking our joy
And placing our hope
In what will be destroyed

Couplet 4

We look for a city
That hands have not raised
We long for a country
That sin has not stained

Refrain

Christ our glory
Christ our hope
Christ our King forevermore

Couplet 4

We look for a city
That hands have not raised
We long for a country
That sin has not stained

Couplet 5

Though trouble and anguish
Increase all the more
They cannot compare
To the glory in store

Couplet 6

Come joy or come sorrow
Whatever befalls
The light of the Savior
Will outshine them all

Refrain

Christ our glory
Christ our hope
Christ our King forevermore

Couplet 6

Come joy or come sorrow
Whatever befalls
The light of the Savior will
Outshine them all
