Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #555 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) Lyrics: 1 Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb,
Take this new treasure to thy trust,
And give these sacred relics room,
To slumber in the silent dust.
2 Nor pain, nor grief, nor anxious fear
Invades thy bounds--no mortal woes
Can reach the peaceful sleeper here,
And angels watch his soft repose.
3 So Jesus slept, God's dying Son
Pass'd through the grave, and bless'd the bed;
Rest here, blest saint, till from His throne
The morning break, and pierce the shade.
4 Break from His throne, illustrious morn,
Attend, O earth, His sovereign word;
Restore thy trust--a glorious form
Shall then arise to meet the Lord. Topics: Burial; Death Languages: English
Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb
