Author: Ch. Beecher Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #917 (1873) Lyrics: 1 There's rest in the grave,
Life's toils are all past,
Night cometh at last:
How calmly I rest
In the sleep of the blest,
Nor hear life's storm rave
O'er my green, grassy grave.
2 No rest in the grave--
Heaven's dawn purples fast,
Morn's splendors are cast
Like shafts through the gloom
Of the dark, silent tomb;
Heaven's fair bowers wave--
No rest in the grave!
3 Arise from the grave!
Heaven's bright, burning throng
Come rushing along;
They gird me about,
And triumphant shout,
As myriad palms wave,
Ascend from the grave. Topics: Resurrection and Judgment; Rest in the Grave
There's rest in the grave
