LyicsHOW still and peaceful is the grave,
Where life's vain tumults past;
Th' appointed place, by Heav'n's decree,
Receives us all at last.
There servants, masters, small and great,
Partake the same repose;
And there in peace the ashes mix
Of those who once were foes.
All, levell'd by the hand of death,
Lies sleeping in the tomb,
Till God in judgment calls them forth
To meet their final doom.
O may I stand before the Lamb,
When earth and seas are fled,
And hear the Judge pronounce my name,
With blessings on my head.
