Comfort in Affliction
We may sleep, but not forever
Author: Mrs. M. A. Kidder Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We may sleep, but not forever,
There will be a glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part, no, never,
On the resurrection morn.
From the deepest caves of ocean,
From the desert and the plain,
From the valley and the mountain,
Countless throngs shall rise again.
Refrain:
We may sleep, but not forever,
There will be a glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part, no, never,
On the resurrection morn.
2 When we see a precious blossom
That we tended with such care
Rudely taken from our bosom,
How our aching hearts despair.
Round the silent grave we linger
Till the setting sun is low,
Feeling all our hopes have perished
With the flower we cherished so. [Refrain]
3 We may sleep, but not forever,
In the lone and silent grave;
Blessed be the Lord that taketh,
Blessed be the Lord that gave.
In the bright, eternal city,
Death can never, never come;
In his own good time he'll call us
From our rest to home, sweet home. [Refrain] Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: RESURRECTION
We may sleep, but not forever
Passed away from earth forever
Author: U. Smith Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Passed away from earth forever,
Free from all its cares and fears,
She again will join us never
While we tread this vale of tears;
For the turf is now her pillow,
And she sleeps among the dead;
While the cypress and the willow
Wave above her lowly bed.
2 With what grief and anguish riven
Should we see the loved depart,
If there were no promise given
Which could soothe the wounded heart!
If the chains with which death binds them
Ne'er again should broken be,
And his prison which confines them
Ne'er be burst to set them free!
3 But a glorious day is nearing,
Earth's long-wished-for jubilee,
When creation's King appearing,
Shall proclaim his people free;
When upborne on Love's bright pinion,
They shall shout from land and sea,
"Death, where is thy dark dominion!
Grave, where is thy victory!" Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: RESURRECTION
Passed away from earth forever
