How peaceful is the grave!
Author: R. Blair Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 How peaceful is the grave!
Where, life's vain tumult past,
Th' appointed house, by Heaven's decree,
Receives us all at last.
2 There earthly troubles cease,
There passions rage no more,
And there the weary pilgrim rests
From all the toils he bore.
3 There all, both small and great,
Partake the same repose;
And there in peace the ashes mix
Of those who once were foes.
4 All, by the hand of death,
Partake a common tomb;
Yet saints shall not forever sleep
Not theirs the sinner's doom. Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: THOUGHT
How peaceful is the grave!
One sweetly solemn thought
Author: Phoebe Cary Appears in 696 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er;
I'm nearer to my parting hour
Than e'er I've been before.
2 Nearer my Father's house,
Where many mansions be;
Nearer the throne where Jesus reigns,
Nearer the crystal sea.
3 Nearer my going home,
Laying my burden down,
Leaving my cross of heavy grief,
Wearing my starry crown. Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: THOUGHT
