Text:Hear what the voice from heaven proclaims
Tune:PATMOS

52. Hear what the voice from heaven proclaims

1. Hear what the voice from heaven proclaims,
For all the pious dead;
Sweet is the savor of their names,
And soft their sleeping bed.

2. They die in Jesus, and are blest;
How kind their slumbers are!
From sufferings and from sins released,
And freed from every snare.

3. Far from this world of toil and strife,
Now present with the Lord;
The labors of their mortal life
End in a large reward.

4. The glory of their heavenly crown
Unfading still remains;
And life eternal, now their own,
Their Savior still maintains.
