Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #386 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: The grave is now a favor'd spot Lyrics: 1 The grave is now a favor'd spot,--
To saints who sleep, in Jesus bless'd;
For there the wicked trouble not,
And there the weary are at rest.
2 At rest in Jesus' faithful arms;
At rest as in a peaceful bed;
Secure from all the dreadful storms,
Which round this sinful world are spread.
3 Thrice happy souls, who're gone before
To that inheritance divine!
They labor, sorrow, sigh no more,
But bright in endless glory shine.
4 Then let our mournful tears be dry,
Or in a gentle measure flow;
We hail them happy in the sky,
And joyful wait our call to go. Topics: Consummation of Things Death Scripture: Job 3:17 Languages: English
