Here o'er the earth as a stranger I roam

Hymnal: The New Sabbath School Hosanna #44a (1870) Lyrics: 1 Here o'er the earth as a stranger I roam, Here is no rest, here is no rest! Here as a pilgrim I wander alone, Yet I am blest, yet I am blest! For I look forward to that glorious day When sin and sorrow shall vanish away. My heart doth leap while I hear Jesus say, There, there is rest, there, there is rest! 2 Here are afflictions and trials severe, Here is no rest, here is no rest! Here I must part with the friends I hold dear, Yet I am blest, yet I am blest! Sweet is the promise I read in his word; Blessed are those who have died in the Lord, They have been called to receive their reward. There, there is rest, there, there is rest! 3 This world of care is a wilderness state, Here is no rest, here is no rest! Here must I bear from the world all its hate. Yet I am blest, yet I am blest! Soon shall I be from the wicked released, Soon shall the weary for ever be blest, Soon shall I lean upon Jesus' own breast, There, there is rest, there, there is rest! Tune Title: NO REST HERE

Here o'er the earth as a stranger I roam

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #618 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Here o'er the earth as a stranger I roam; Here is no rest, is no rest; Here as a pilgrim I wander alone; Yet I am blest, I am blest. For I look forward to that glorious day When sin and sorrow will vanish away. My heart doth leap while I hear Jesus say, There, there is rest, there is rest. 2 Here fierce temptations beset me around; Here is no rest, is no rest; Here I am grieved while my foes me surround; Yet I am blest, I am blest. Let them revile me, and scoff at my name, Laugh at my weeping endeavor to shame; I will go forward, for this is my theme, There, there is rest, there is rest. 3 Here are afflictions and trials severe; Here is no rest, is no rest; Here I must part with the friends I hold dear; Yet I am blest, I am blest. Sweet is the promise I read in his word, Blessed are they who have died in the Lord; They will be called to receive their reward; Then there is rest, there is rest. 4 This world of cares is a wilderness state, Here is no rest, is no rest; Here I must bear from the world all its hate, Yet I am blest, I am blest, Soon shall I be from the wicked released, Soon shall the weary forever be blest, Soon shall I lean upon Jesus' breast; Then there is rest, there is rest.

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Here o'er the earth as a stranger I roam" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
