"No more death"

Author: William B. Tappan Appears in 567 hymnals Topics: The Rest of Heaven; Heaven; Heaven First Line: There is an hour of peaceful rest Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of peaceful rest, To mourning wanderers given; There is a joy for souls distressed; A balm for every wounded breast; 'Tis found above in heaven. 2 There is a home for weary souls, By sin and sorrow driven, When tossed on life's tempestuous shoals, Where storms arise, and ocean rolls, And all is drear but heaven. 3 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 heaven. 4 There fragrant flowers immortal bloom, And joy supreme are given; There rays divine disperse the gloom: Beyond the confines of the tomb Appears the dawn of heaven!
