The saints may rest within the tomb
1
The saints may rest within the tombAwhile until the morning come;Then shall they rise to meet their God,And ever dwell in his abode.

Celestial dawn! Triumphant hour!How glorious that awakening powerWhich bids the sleeping dust arise,And join the anthems of the skies!

This weary life will soon be past,The lingering morn will come at last,And gloomy mists will roll awayBefore that bright, unfading day.
