574. There is an hour of hallow'd peace

1 There is an hour of hallow'd peace
For those with care oppress'd,
When sighs and sorrowing tears shall cease,
And all be hush'd to rest.

2 ‘Tis then the soul is freed from fears,
And doubts that here annoy;
Then they that oft have sown in tears
Shall reap again in joy.

3 There is a home of sweet repose,
Where storms assail no more;
The stream of endless pleasure flows
On that celestial shore:

4 There purity with love appears,
And bliss without alloy;
Then they that oft had sown in tears
Shall reap eternal joy.
