==Lyrics from [[A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Use of the Latter Day Saints, 1844]]==
1. There is an hour of peaceful rest,<br>
To mourning wand'rers giv'n:<br>
There is a tear for souls distressed,<br>
A balm for ev'ry wounded breast -<br>
'Tis found alone - in heav'n.
 
2. There is a home for weary souls,<br>
By sins and sorrows driv'n;<br>
When tossed on life's tempestuous shoals,<br>
Where storms arise - and ocean rolls,<br>
And all is drear - but heav'n.
 
3. There faith lifts up the tearless eye,<br>
The heart with anguish riv'n;<br>
It views the tempest passing by,<br>
Sees ev'ning shadows quickly fly,<br>
And all serene - in heav'n.
 
4. There fragrant flow'rs immortal bloom,<br>
And joys supreme are giv'n;<br>
There rays divine disperse the gloom;<br>
Beyond the dark and narrow tomb,<br>
Appears the dawn - of heav'n.
