LyicsHow often I am weary!
How often sad and dreary!
What, then, but his can cheer me
"I soon shall rest in heaven?"
[Chorus] Tho' this poor body will molder in the tomb,
And soft winds gently murmur o'er its quiet home,
And strange sweet flowers in beauty there will bloom,
Yet I'll rest in heaven.
What, then, of tribulation?
What, then, of sore temptation?
Be this my consolation-
"I soon shall rest in heaven." --CHO.
Then welcome death and mourning!
I see the night approaching;
Joy cometh in the morning,
Among the saints in heaven. --CHO.
O brothers, will you meet me?
O sisters, will you greet me!
O sinners, shall I see you
Among the saints in heaven? --CHO.
