103d | Linden Harp#104 | 105 |
1 Oft in the stilly night,
Ere slumber's chain hath bound me,
Sweet faith brings up the light
Of heav'nly joys around me;
The love and peace that doth increase
Throughout eternal ages;
The harps of gold, the bliss untold
Which all the blest engages:
Refrain:
Thus in the stilly night,
Ere slumber's chain hath bound me,
Sweet faith brings up the light
Of heav'nly joys around me.
2 When I remember all
The friends from me now riven,
I've seen around me fall,
With prospects bright for heaven,--
I feel like one, never alone,
With blessed spirits near me,
Whose hope is bright, who finds delight
In thoughts of heaven which cheer me. [Refrain]
