Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #491 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Hark! from on high a solemn voice; Let all attentive hear! 'Twill make each pious heart rejoice, And vanquish ev'ry fear. 2 "Thrice blessed are the pious dead, Who in the Lord shall die; Their weary flesh, as on a bed, Safe in the grave shall lie. 3 "Their holy souls, at length releas'd, To heav'n shall take their flight; There to enjoy eternal rest, And infinite delight. 4 "They drop each load as they ascend, And quit this world of woe; Their labours with their life shall end, Their rest no period know. 5 "Their conflicts with their busy foes For evermore shall cease; None shall their happiness oppose, Nor interrupt their peace. 6 "But bright rewards shall recompense Their faithful service here; And perfect love shall banish thence Each gloomy doubt and fear."
