There Is an Hour of Peaceful Rest

Author: William B. Tappan Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 566 hymnals Lyrics: 1. There is an hour of peaceful rest, To mourning wand’rers given; There is a joy for souls distressed, A balm for every wounded breast, ’Tis found above in Heav’n. 2. There is a soft, a downy bed, Far from these shades of even— A couch for weary mortals spread, Where they may rest the aching head And find repose in Heaven. 3. There is a home for weary souls By sin and sorrow driven; When tossed on life’s tempestuous shoals, When storms arise, and ocean rolls, And all is drear but Heav’n. 4. There, faith lifts up her cheerful eye, To brighter prospects given; And views the tempest passing by, The evening shadows quickly fly, And all serene in Heav’n. 5. There, fragrant flowers, immortal bloom, And joys supreme are given; There, rays divine disperse the gloom: Beyond the confines of the tomb, Appears the dawn of Heav’n. Used With Tune: WOODLAND Text Sources: It was published in the first volume of his Poems in 1818

The God by all adored, The God by all adored. 6 His righteous government and pow'r Shall over all extend; On judgment and on justice based, His reign shall have no end, His reign shall have no end. 7 Lord Jesus, reign in us, we pray, And make us Thine alone, Who with the Father ever art And Holy Spirit, one, And Holy Spirit, one.
