1 O where shall rest be found,
Rest for the weary soul?
'Twere vain the ocean's depths to sound,
Or pierce to either pole.
2 The world can never give
The bliss for which we sigh;
'Tis not the whole of life to live;
Nor all of death to die.
3 Beyond this vale of tears,
There is a life above,
Unmeasured by the flight of years;
And all that life is love.
4 There is a death, whose pang
Ontlasts the fleeting breath;
O what eternal horrors hang
Around the second death!
5 Lord God of truth and grace,
Teach us that death to shun,
Lest we be driven from Thy face,
For evermore undone.
