LyicsThere is an hour of peaceful rest
To mourning wand'rers given;
There is a tear for souls distress'd
A balm for ev'ry wounded breast -
'Tis found alone in heaven.
There is a home for weary souls
By sins and sorrows driven,
When toss'd on life's tempestuous shoals,
Where storms arise and ocean rolls,
And all is drear but heaven.
There faith lifts up the tearful eye,
The heart with anguish riven;
It views the tempest passing by,
Sees ev'ning shadows quickly fly,
And all serene is 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.
