1 Not for the dead in Christ we weep; Their sorrows now are o'er' The sea is clam, the tempest past, On that eternal shore. 2 Their peace is seal'd, their rest is sure, Within that better home; A while we weep and linger here, Then follow to the tomb. 3 And though no vision'd dream of bliss Nor trance of rapture show Where, on the bosom of their God, They rest from human woe; 4 Jesus! our shadowy path illume, And teach the chasten'd mind To welcome all that's left of good, To all that's lost resign'd. | Hymnal: according to the use of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America #261 (1871) |
