LyicsI hear a voice at dawn of day,
And to my heart it seems to say,
When sorrow dims hope's brightest ray,
"There's rest in heaven, sweet rest in heaven."
I hear it at the eventide,
When fitful shadows round me glide,
Still whisp'ring gently at my side,
"There's rest in heaven, sweet rest in heaven."
There is sweet rest in heaven;
There is sweet rest in heaven;
There is rest, sweet rest in heaven.
At busy our of noon I hear
The same sweet words accost my ear,
With power to stay the rising tear:
"There's rest in heaven, sweet rest in heaven."
There is sweet rest, etc.
Blest words, which tell of naught but joy,
Of endless rest without alloy!
Well may they oft our thoughts employ;
"There's rest in heaven, sweet rest in heaven."
There is sweet rest, etc.
Spirit of life and love divine,
Subdue my heart and make it thine,
That I may swell upon as mine,
"That rest in heaven, sweet rest in heaven."
There is sweet rest, etc.
