LyicsShould sorrow o'er thy brow
Its darkened shadow fling,
And hopes that cheer thee now
Die in their early spring;
Should pleasure at its birth
Fade like the hues of even,
Turn them away from earth,
There's rest for thee in heaven.
If ever life should seem
To thee a toilsome way,
And gladness cease to beam
Upon its clouded day;
If, like the weary dove,
O'er shoreless ocean driven,
Raise then thine eyes above,
There's rest for thee in heaven.
If brightly shining flowers
Along thy pathway bloom,
And gaily fleet the hours,
Unstained by earthly gloom;
Still, let not ev'ry thought
To this poor world be given,
And never be forgot,
There's rest for thee in heaven.
