LyicsGo to thy rest in peace,
And soft be thy repose;
Thy toils are o'er, thy troubles cease;
From earthly cares, in sweet release,
Thine eyelids gently close.
Go to thy peaceful rest;
For thee we need not weep,
Since thou art now among the blest-
No more by sin and sorrow pressed,
But hushed in quiet sleep.
Go to thy rest; and while
Thy absence we deplore,
One thought our sorrow shall beguile;
For soon, with a celestial smile,
We meet to part no more.
