LyicsBrother [or sister], thou art gone to rest--
We will not weep for thee;
For thou art now where oft on earth
Thy spirit longed to be.
Brother, thou art gone to rest--
Thine is an earthly tomb;
But Jesus summoned thee away--
Thy Savior called thee home.
Brother, thou art gone to rest--
Thy toil and cares are o'er;
And suffering, pain, and sorrow now
Shall ne'er distress thee more.
Brother, thou art gone to rest--
Thy sins are all forgiven;
And saints in light have welcomed thee
To share the joys of heaven.
