Hear what the voice from heaven proclaims
Hymn 101
1
Hear what the voice from heaven proclaims
For 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 life
End in a large reward.
