Repose

Verse 1

There is an hour of hallowed peace For those with care oppressed, When sighs and tears for aye shall cease, And all be hushed to rest.

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

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

Verse 5

Amen.
