When the race of life is run,
Father, grant Thy wearied one
Rest for evermore.
2 When the darkness melts away
At the breaking of Thy day,
Bid us hail the cheering ray
Light for evermore.
3 When for vanished days we yearn,
Days that never can return,
Teach us in Thy love to learn
Love for evermore.
4 When the breath of life is flown,
When the grave must claim its own,
Lord of life, be ours Thy crown,
Life for evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: CAPETOWN
