Far from affliction, toil, and care

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: Romans 13:14 Lyrics: 1 Far from affliction, toil, and care, The happy soul is fled; The breathless clay shall slumber here, Among the silent dead. 2 The Gospel was his joy and song, E'en to his latest breath; The truth he had proclaimed so long Was his support in death. 3 Now he resides where Jesus is, Above this dusky sphere; His soul was ripened for that bliss While ye he sojourned here. 4 The church's loss we all deplore, And shed the falling tear; Since we shall see his face no more, Till Jesus shall appear. 5 But we are hasting to the tomb; Oh, may we ready stand; Then, blessed Lord, receive us home, To dwell at thy right hand.
