LyicsSLEEP thy last sleep, free from care and sorrow;
Rest, where none weep, till th' eternal morrow;
Though dark waves roll o'er the silent river,
Thy fainting soul Jesus can deliver.
Life's dream is past, all its sin, its sadness;
Brightly at last dawns a day of gladness;
Under the sod, earth, receive our treasure,
To rest in God, waiting all His pleasure.
Though we may mourn those in life the dearest,
They shall return, Christ, when Thou appearest!
Soon shall Thy voice comfort those now weeping,
Bidding rejoice all in Jesus sleeping.
