| ==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.
| |

| 1. There is an hour of peaceful rest<br>
| |
| To mourning wanderers given;<br>
| |
| There is a joy for souls distrest,<br>
| |
| A balm for every wounded breast,<br>
| |
| ’Tis found alone in heaven.
| |
| | |
| 2. There is a soft, a downy bed,<br>
| |
| Far from these shades of even—<br>
| |
| A couch for weary mortals spread,<br>
| |
| Where they may rest the aching head,<br>
| |
| And find repose, in heaven.
| |
| | |
| 3. There is a home for weary souls<br>
| |
| By sin and sorrow driven;<br>
| |
| When tossed on life’s tempestuous shoals,<br>
| |
| Where storms arise, and ocean rolls,<br>
| |
| And all is drear but heaven.
| |
| | |
| 4. There faith lifts up her cheerful eye,<br>
| |
| To brighter prospects given;<br>
| |
| And views the tempest passing by,<br>
| |
| The evening shadows quickly fly,<br> | |
| And all serene in heaven.
| |
| | |
| 5. There fragrant flowers immortal bloom,<br>
| |
| And joys supreme are given;<br>
| |
| There rays divine disperse the gloom:<br>
| |
| Beyond the confines of the tomb<br>
| |
| Appears the dawn of heaven.
