Lyics

Tossed no more on life's rough billow,

All the storms of sorrow fled,

Death hath found a quiet pillow

For the aged Christian's head,

Peaceful slumbers

Guarding now his lowly bed.



O, may we be reunited

To the spirits of the just,

Leaving all that sin has blighted

With corruption, in the dust:

Hear us, Jesus,

Thou our Lord, our Life, our Trust.
