Sweet Be Thy Rest

Author: F. E. Belden Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Special Occasions Funeral Hymns First Line: Sweet be thy rest Lyrics: 1. Sweet be thy rest, And peaceful thy sleeping; God's way is best, Thou art in his keeping. O blessed sleep, Where ills ne'er molest thee! Why should we weep? For heaven hath blessed thee: Sweet be thy rest. 2. Thy work is done, Thy sowing and reaping; Thy crown is won, And hush'd is thy weeping. From tears and woes, From earth's midnight dreary, Thine is repose Where none ever weary: Sweet be thy rest. 3. Sweet be thy rest; No more we may greet thee Till with the blest In heaven we meet thee. O union sweet, That death can not sever! There we shall meet, Where sad tears fall never: Sweet be thy rest.
