Author: Edward A. Dayman Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6146 Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Sleep thy last sleep, free from care and sorrow Lyrics: 1. Sleep thy last sleep, free from care and sorrow;
Rest, where none weep, till th’eternal morrow;
Though dark waves roll o’er the silent river,
Thy fainting soul Jesus can deliver.
2. Life’s dream is past, all its sin, its sadness,
Brightly at last, dawns a day of gladness:
Under thy sod, earth, receive our treasure,
To rest in God, waiting all His pleasure.
3. Though we may mourn those in life the dearest,
They shall return, Christ, when Thou appearest:
Soon shall thy voice comfort those now weeping,
Bidding rejoice all in Jesus sleeping. Languages: English Tune Title: THE LAST SLEEP
Sleep Thy Last Sleep
