Hear what the voice from heaven proclaims
C. M.
1
Hear what the voice from heaven proclaimsFor all the pious dead;Sweet is the savor of their names,And soft their sleeping bed.
2
They die in Jesus and are blest;How kind their slumbers are!From sufferings and from sins released,And freed from every snare.
3
Far from this world of toil and strife,They 're present with the Lord!The labors of their mortal lifeEnd in a large reward.
