Over the Stars

Representative Text

1 Over the stars there is rest,
Over the stars there is rest,
Suffer in patience confiding
Life with its trials and chiding,
There, peace eternal, abiding
Makes the delight of the blest.
Dark though today be with sorrow,
Hope gilds more brightly the morrow!
Over the stars there is rest!
Over the stars there is rest!

2 Over the stars there is rest,
Over the stars there is rest,
Bear up, to life’s ills resigning,
There where the sun is still shining,
Comes neither grief nor repining,
There are relieved the opprest.
Onward with courage reviving,
Ever still patiently striving.
Over the stars there is rest!
Over the stars there is rest!
