AT REST.
I.
Sweet be thy rest, O, worn and weary sufferer; Blest be thy sleep, for God hath closed thine eyes.
Earth’s noisy din shall never break thy slumbers; All thou dost hear is music of the skies.
II.
Rest, weary traveler, rest; thy journey’s ended– Life’s stormy paths and murmuring waves are past; Heaven’s golden sunbeams, Heaven’s brighter powers, And Heaven’s pure gladness all are thine at last.
