How Blest the Righteous When He Dies (EN 6008)

EN 6008 How Blest the Righteous When He Dies

Rev.14.13

Versi Version 1

1

How blest the righteous when he dies!

When sinks a weary soul to rest,

How mildly beam the closing eyes,

How gently heaves th’expiring breast!

2

So fades a summer cloud away;

So sinks a gale when storms are o’er;

So gently shuts the eye of day;

So dies a wave along the shore.

3

A holy quiet reigns around,

A calm which life nor death destroys;

And naught disturbs that peace profound

Which his unfettered soul enjoys.

4

Farewell, conflicting hopes and fears,

Where lights and shades alternate dwell;

How bright th’unchanging morn appears!

Farewell, inconstant world, farewell!

5

Life’s labor done, as sinks the clay,

Light from its load the spirit flies,

While Heav’n and earth combine to say,

“How blest the righteous when he dies!”
