Laudes Domini ‎#584

584. "No more death"

1 There is an hour of peaceful rest,
To mourning wanderers given;
There is a joy for souls distressed;
A balm for every wounded breast:
'Tis found above--in heaven.

2 There is a home for weary souls,
By sin and sorrow driven,--
When tossed on life's tempestuous shoals,
Where storms arise, and ocean rolls,
And all is drear--but heaven.

3 There faith lifts up her cheerful eye
To brighter prospects given;
And views the tempest passing by,
The evening shadows quickly fly,
And all serene--in heaven.

4 There fragrant flowers immortal bloom,
And joys supreme are given;
There rays divine disperse the gloom:
Beyond the confines of the tomb
Appears the dawn of heaven!
