There remaineth, therefore, a rest to the people of God

Heb. 4:9

How sweet the music of this first heavenly chime floating across the waters of death from the towers of the New Jerusalem. Pilgrim, faint under thy long and arduous pilgrimage, hear it! It is Rest. Soldier, carrying still upon the blood and dust of battle, listen to it! It is Rest. Voyager, tossed on the waves of sin and sorrow, driven hither and thither on the world’s heaving ocean of vicissitude, hear it! The haven is in sight; the very waves that are breaking on thee seem to murmur, So He giveth His beloved Rest. It is the long-drawn sigh of existence at last answered. The toil and travail of earth’s long week are at an end. The calm of its unbroken Sabbath is begun. Man, weary man, has found at last the long-sought-for rest in the bosom of his God!
