Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #965 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Dust, receive thy kindred!
Earth take now thine own!
To thee this trust is rendered;
In thee this seed is sown.
Guard the precious treasure,
Ever-faithful tomb!
Keep it all unrifled,
Till the Master come.
2 Time's dark tide of sorrow
Breaks above thy head;
And feet of restless millions
Shall o'er thy chambers tread;
Earthquakes, whirlwinds, tempests,
Tear the quivering ground;
Voices, trumpets, thunders,
Fill the air around!
3 But these sounds of terror
Pierce not thy low tomb,
Nor break the happy slumbers
Of death's dark, silent home.
Couch of tranquil slumber
For the weary brow;
Rest of faint and toiling,
Take this loved one now. Topics: Death and Resurrection Tune Title: REPOSE
