SDAH 622
Come, come, ye saints, no toil nor labor fear;
But with joy wend your way.
Though hard to you the journey may appear,
Grace shall be as your day.

1
Come, come, ye saints, no toil nor labor fear;
But with joy wend your way.
Though hard to you the journey may appear,
Grace shall be as your day.
We will have a living lord to guide,
And we can trust Him to provide;
Do this, and joy your hearts will swell:
All is well! All is well!
2
We’ll find the rest which God for us prepared,
When at last He will call;
Where none will come to hurt or make afraid,
He will reign over all.
We will make the air with music ring,
Shout praise to God our Lord and King:
O how we’ll make the chorus swell:
All is well! All is well!

Notes
Get to know the hymns a little deeper with the SDA Hymnal Companion. Use our song leader’s notes to engage your congregation in singing with understanding. Even better, involve kids in learning this hymn with our homeschooling materials.
This group is the object of the little horn’s persecution and is described as “the saints”, “the saints of the most High”, and as “the people of the saints of the most High” as they receive the kingdom. They also are referred to as “holy people.” Thus, the saints of the Most High “are to be identified with God’s faithful followers who constitute His remnant people, who are His chosen ones, set apart from the rest of the nations, persecuted by the power opposing God, but keeping the covenant faith and maintaining their trust and confidence in God from whom they finally receive an everlasting kingdom.
Revelation 12–14 depicts the followers of Christ and shows how they remain faithful during the last crisis.where John says that “the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Rev. 12:17, NKJV). (Lesson 8, 1st Quarter 2020 – Thursday, The Holy Ones of the Most High, 2/20/2020)
The saints have no toil nor labor to fear. Come what may, their hearts are always filled with joy. Hear them singing along the way or humming a melody while doing something. If you ask them, why they are always happy, most likely they will say: It’s because Jesus is in their hearts cheering them up in whatever they are doing. (Lesson 13, 2nd Quarter 2021 -Sunday, Joy, 6/20/2021)
