Hymn Text

Verse 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.
Refrain:
Father, in your gracious keeping
Leave we now Thy servant sleeping.

Verse 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.
Refrain:

Verse 3

Earth to earth, and dust to dust,
Calmly now the words we say;
Left behind, we wait in trust
For the resurrection day.
Refrain
