LyicsThere is an hour of peaceful rest
To mourning wand'rers given;
There is a tear for souls distressed,
A balm for every wounded breast--
'T is found above--in heaven.
There is a home for weary souls,
By sins and sorrows driven,
When tossed on life's tempestuous shoals,
When storms arise and ocean rolls,
And all is drear but heaven.
There faith lifts up the tearless eye,
The heart with anguish riven;
It views the tempest passing by,
Sees evening shadows quickly fly,
And all serene--in heaven.
There fragrant flowers immortal bloom,
And joys supreme are given;
There rays divine disperse the gloom,
Beyond the dark and narrow tomb
Appears the dawn of heaven.
