Go to thy rest in peace
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.
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 whileThy absence we deplore,One thought our sorrow shall beguile;For soon with a celestial smileWe'll meet to part no more.
