A Voice from Heaven
One with divine authority speaks from
Heaven; It is God’s statement not
Just John’s. It is a beatitude concerning
Death and rest for the Christian.
Having toiled under great adversity,
They shall rest from their labors,
They shall be refreshed. Jesus said,
Come unto me... and I will give you rest.
Thomas Gray wrote with anticipation
Of home, and finding refreshment from
Labors, The plowman homeward plods
his weary way. He is promised rest.
We do not go home empty handed
For it is said, Their works do follow
With them. When we die triumphantly
In the Lord we do not go empty-handed.
We have not lost our works, nor saved
As by fire. We make an abundant
Entrance with genuine Christian
Works for our blessed Lord.
