Text Based On Hebrews Chapter 4 (KJV)
For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works,
as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest,
lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

OH, FROM EARTHLY CARES SET FREE
1.
Oh, from earthly cares set free,
let us find our rest in Thee;
May our toils and conflicts cease,
in the calm of Sabbath peace;
That Thy people here below,
something of the bliss may know,
something of the rest and love,
in the Sabbath-home above.
2.
Give our souls the spotless dress,
of Thy perfect righteousness;
So at length each welcome guest,
then shall enter to the feast,
Take the pipes and raise the song,
all Thy ransomed ones among;
earthly cares and sorrows o’er, Joys to last forevermore.
3.
Lord, remove the veil away,
let us see Thyself today:
Thou who camest from on high,
for our sins to bleed and die,
Help us now to cast aside,
all that would our hearts divide;
with the Father and the Son,
let Thy living Church be one.
