LyicsIN dust we're doom'd to sleep,
But shall not sleep forever;
Fear may for a moment weep,
Christian courage never.
Years in rapid course shall roll,
By time's chariot driven,
And my re-awakened soul,
Wing its flight to heaven.
What though o'er my mortal tomb,
Clouds and mist be blending;
Sweetest hope shall chase the gloom,
Hopes to heaven ascending.
There shall be my stay and trust,
Ever bright and vernal,--
Life shall blossom out of dust,
Life and joy eternal.
