| Tune: | GO TO THY REST |
| Composer: | Unknown |
1 Go to thy rest in peace,
And soft be thy repose;
Thy toils are o'er, thy troubles cease,
From earthly cares in sweet release,
Thine eye-lids gently close.
From earthly cares in sweet release,
Thine eye-lids gently close, gently close.
2 Go to thy peaceful rest;
For thee we need not weep,
The righteous dead, by heaven blessed,
No more by sin and sorrow pressed,
Are hushed in quiet sleep.
3 Go to thy rest; and while
Thy absence we deplore,
One thought our sorrow shall beguile;
For soon with a celestial smile
We'll meet to part no more.
