LyicsTHERE is a calm for those that weep,
A rest for weary pilgrims found:
They softly lie, and sweetly sleep,
Low in the ground.
The storm that sweeps the wintry sky
No more disturbs their deep repose,
Than summer ev'ning's latest sigh,
That shuts the rose.
Then, trav'ler in the vale of tears,
To realms of everlasting light,
Through time's dark wilderness of years
Pursue thy flight.
Thy soul, renew'd by grace divine,
In God's own image, freed from clay,
In heav'ns eternal sphere shall shine,
A star of day.
