[Refrain] 4 Rest comes at length; though life be long and dreary, The day must dawn, and dark-some night be passed; Faith's journey ends in welcome to the weary, And heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last. [Refrain] 5 Angels, sing on! your faithful watches keeping, Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above, Till morning's joy shall end the night of weeping, And life's long shadows break in cloudless love.
