The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#958

958. She hath passed death's chilling billow

1 She hath passed death's chilling billow,
And gone to rest;
Jesus smoothed her dying pillow,
O slumber blest!

2 From the bitter cup that's given,
We should not shrink;
Since the mandate is from heaven,
That bids us drink.

3 Sleep, dear sister, kind and tender,
To friendship true,
While with feeling hearts we render
This tribute due.

4 When the morn of glory, breaking,
Shall light the tomb,
Beautiful will be thy waking
In fadeless bloom;

5 Where no wintry winds are blowing,
No burial train;
Crowned with gems celestial, glowing,
We'll meet again.
