No care to disturb how sweet is his rest
In the mansion OF light, on the bright shining Shore
How peaceful and calm was the last dying hour;
For the soul 20 commune with its Maker had come,
And the last feeble accents that fell from his lips
We're the sweet words Of prayer, the precious word

Now safely at home in the bright realm Of bliss
The sorrows Of earth no more vex the soul.
And the rest that remains for the weary is his.
While the ages untold Of eternity roll.
