Text: | Why Should We Weep! |
Author: | A. P. Cobb |
Tune: | [Why should we weep, for those who sleep] |
Composer: | J. H. Fillmore |
1 Why should we weep, for those who sleep,
On Jesus’ loving breast!
Far from life’s din; far from earth’s sin,
In paradise they rest!
Chorus:
In arms of love, in realms above,
God gives His loved ones sleep!
And those who rest on Jesus’ breast,
He will securely keep.
2 Where naught alarms, where naught e’er harms,
‘Neath skies forever fair;
By waters bright, in robes of white,
They rest securely there! [Chorus]
3 There angels dwell, and anthems swell
The joy that cannot cease!
They know no night; God is their Light,
No grief can mar their peace! [Chorus]
