Lyrics

Are you seek­ing hea­ven­ly, peace­ful rest?
Look on­ly to Je­sus, dear one;
It is there, and on­ly there, it is found,
Outside of His king­dom there’s none!

Refrain

No peace­ful rest, out­side of the king­dom of God!
None for thy breast, out­side of the king­dom of God!

Go ye in­to it, and this glo­ry claim—
Make now for this boun­ty thy run—
Haste away, it there to ob­tain, for sure—
Outside of His king­dom there’s none!

Refrain

There, this peace­ful rest is await­ing thee—
Sad soul, wilt thou let it be won?
Seek thou, it, thro’ Je­sus, who says, Come in,
Outside of His king­dom there’s none!
