LyicsOH where shall rest be found,
Rest for the weary soul!
'Twere vain the ocean's depth to sound,
Or pierce to either pole.
The world can never give
The bliss for which we sigh;
'Tis not the whole of life to live,
Nor all of death to die.
Beyond this vale of tears,
There is a life above,
Unmeasured by the flight of years,
And all that life is love.
There is a death whose pang
Outlasts the fleeting breath;
Oh! what eternal horrors hang,
Around the second death!
Lord God of truth and peace,
Teach us that death to shun;
Lest we be driven from thy face,
Forevermore undone.
