Hear what the voice from heaven proclaims,
For all the pious dead;
Sweet is the savour of their names,
|: And soft their sleeping bed. :|
They die in Jesus, and are blessed;
How kind their slumbers are!
From sufferings and from sins released,
|: And freed from every snare. :|
Far from this world of toil and strife,
They're present with the Lord;
The labours of their mortal life
|: End in a large reward. :|
---Alternative verses---
They die in Jesus, and are blessed;
How sweet their slumbers are!
From sufferings and from sins released,
|: And freed from every snare. :|
