Tune: Eventide
('Abide with me')
John 14 v.1 - 3 parts
************
Rest, rest, sweet soul, your pain and suffering o'er
Your husband, he loved you, did you adore
And still that love lives, you shall meet again
Shall know bliss of eternal Rapture then
Sing, sing in heaven, earthly strife all left
Prayers here for comfort for those now bereft
But a star shines, take up your mansion-place
Which Christ has prepared for you by His grace
Dayspring has dawned, 'tis Christ, He the true Light
Dispels the darkness of death and of night
Fly, spread your wings, join in the angels' choir
Now with your Lord, never now you afar
Christ your Lord He has gone the way before
Meet Him with joy on the eternal shore
'Til you both walk by River [of life] endlessly
In love, peace, joy through all eternity
