Thus in the quiet joy of kindly trust
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #972 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Thus in the quiet joy of kindly trust,
We bid each parting saint a brief farewell;
Weeping, yet smiling, we commit their dust
To the safe keeping of the silent cell.
2 Softly within that peaceful resting-place
We lay their wearied limbs, and bid the clay
Press lightly on them till the night be past,
And the far east give note of coming day.
3 The day of re-appearing! how it speeds!
He who is true and faithful speaks the word:
Then shall we ever be with those we love
Then shall we be forever with the Lord.
4 The shout is heard, the Archangel's voice goes forth;
The trumpet sounds, the dead awake and sing;
The living put on glory; one glad band,
They hasten up to meet their coming King.
5 Short death and darkness! Endless life and light;
Short climbing; endless shining in yon sphere,
Where all is incorruptible and pure;
The joy without the pain, the smile without the tear. Topics: Death and Resurrection Tune Title: EVENTIDE
