Text by William C. Dix.
A hymn-anthem on nyland, a lovely tune that in many circles is unfortunately little known, with a famous text based on Matthew 11:28. Each stanza has a different treatment with stanza 3 being SATB unaccompanied. The accompaniment, rather uncharacteristic for a hymn of this genre, is comprised of arpeggiated eighth notes. .

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 wellingWho loved you from eternity.Hi s precious blood the Lamb has givenThat 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 measureWill 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.
