Now the Laborer’s Task Is O’er (EN 5364)

EN 5364 Now the Laborer’s Task Is O’er

1Tim.5.18

Versi Version 1

1

Now the laborer’s task is o’er;

Now the battle day is past;

Now upon the farther shore

Lands the voyager at last.

Father, in Thy gracious keeping

Leave we now Thy servant sleeping.

2

There the tears of earth are dried;

There its hidden things are clear;

There the work of life is tried

By a juster Judge than here.

3

There the Shepherd, bringing home

Many a lamb forlorn and strayed,

Shelters each, no more to roam,

Where the wolf can ne’er invade.

4

There the sinful souls, that turn

To the cross their dying eyes,

All the love of Christ shall learn

At His feet in Paradise.

5

There no more the powers of hell

Can prevail to mar their peace;

Christ the Lord shall guard them well,

He Who died for their release.

6

“Earth to earth, and dust to dust,”

Calmly now the words we say;

Left behind, we wait in trust

For the resurrection day.
