Author: Daniel S. Warner Hymnal: Timeless Truths #517 Meter: 9.6.9.6 with refrain Refrain First Line: Resting, resting Lyrics: 1 Two little hands are sweetly folded
Upon a silent breast:
The little heart within has numbered
Its throbs and gone to rest.
Refrain:
Resting, resting,
Oh, how sweet!
Resting, resting,
Sweetly resting.
2 Two little eyes are closed forever
To earth’s unholy sight,
Two little cherub wings now hover
In heaven’s golden light. [Refrain]
3 Two little feet have ceased to travel
Upon the shores of time;
A little gem released from trouble
Has gone above to shine. [Refrain]
4 Oh, what a comfort, dear Redeemer,
Thy grace and love hath giv’n,
That when life’s winter day is ended,
We’ll meet our child in heav’n. [Refrain] Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Tune Title: [Two little hands are sweetly folded]
