Eden 154b
Tune: Arranged by Benjamin Franklin White, 1869
Alto: Mrs. Anna L. (Cooper) Blackshear, 1902
Lyrics: Elizabeth King Mills, 1837
Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)
O land of rest! for thee I sigh;
When will the moments come,
When I shall lay my armor by,
And dwell in peace at home?
Chorus:
O Eden is a land of rest,
O Eden is my home;
I’ll launch my bark on Eden’s shore,
For Eden is my home.
