Go to Thy Rest, Fair Child
Author: Lydia H. Sigourney, 1791-1865 Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary #624 (1972) First Line: Go to thy rest, fair child! Lyrics: 1 Go to thy rest, fair child!
Go to thy dreamless bed,
While yet so gentle, undefiled,
With blessings on thy head.
2 Before thy heart had learned
In waywardness to stray;
Before thy feet had ever turned
The dark and downward way;
3 Ere sin has seared the breast,
Or sorrow woke the tear;
Rise to thy throne of changeless rest,
In yon celestial sphere!
4 Because thy smile was fair,
Thy lip and eye so bright,
Because thy loving cradle-care
Was such a dear delight;
5 Shall love, with weak embrace,
Thy upward wing detain?
No! gentle spirit, seek thy place
Amid the cherub train. Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Seasons, Days, Services Funeral Services Scripture: 2 Samuel 12:23 Languages: English Tune Title: BURBER

Go to thy rest
Hymnal: The Morning Star #103 (1877) First Line: Go to thy rest, sweet child! Lyrics: 1 Go to thy rest, fair child!
Go to thy dreamless bed;
Sinless and undefiled,
With blessings on thy head.
Chorus:
Go to thy rest,
And sweet be thy repose;
Safe on thy Savior's breast,
Free from all earthly woes,
Go to thy rest.
2 Fresh roses in thy hand,
Buds on thy pillow laid;
Fly from this dreary land,
Where flow'rs but bloom to fade.
Chorus:
Go to thy rest,
And sweet be thy repose;
Safe on thy Savior's breast,
Free from all earthly woes,
Go to thy rest.
3 Ere thy young heart could learn,
In wayward paths to stray;
Ere thy young feet could turn
Down life's delusive way.
Chorus:
Go to thy rest,
And sweet be thy repose;
Safe on thy Savior's breast,
Free from all earthly woes,
Go to thy rest.
4 Though thy young cheek was fair,
Thy lips and eyes were bright;
Though thy sweet tender care
Was one prolonged delight.
Chorus:
Go to thy rest,
And sweet be thy repose;
Safe on thy Savior's breast,
Free from all earthly woes,
Go to thy rest.
5 Shall, therefore, love's embrace,
Thy homeward flight detain?
No, loved one, take thy place
'Mid yonder angel train.
Chorus:
We'll meet again,
On Canaan's happy shore;
With Christ forever reign,
We'll meet to part no more,
We'll part no more.
