LyicsThere is an hour of peaceful rest,
To mourning wand'rers given;
There is a tear for sould distress'd,
A balm for ev'ry wounded breast--
'Tis found above--in heav'n.
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 heav'n.
There faith lifts up the tearless eye,
The heart with anguish riven;
It views the tempest passing by,
Sees ev'ning shadows quickly fly,
And all serene--in heav'n.
There fragrant flowers immortal bloom,
And joys supreme are given;
There rays divine disperse the gloom;
Beyond the dark and narrow tomb
Apperas the dawn--of heav'n.
