1. Rest, rest for the weary soul;Rest, rest for the aching head;Rest, rest on the hillside, restWith the great uncounted dead.
2. Rest, rest for the battle’s o’er;Rest, rest for the race is run;Rest, rest where the gates are closedWith each evening’s setting sun.
3. Peace, peace where no strife intrudes,Peace, peace, where no quarrels come,Peace, peace, for the end is thereOf our wild life’s busy hum.
4. Peace, peace, the oppressed are free;Rest, rest, oh, ye weary, rest,For the angels guard those wellWho sleep on their mother’s breast.
5. Peace, peace, there is music’s sound,Peace, peace, till the rising sunOf the resurrection mornProclaims life’s victory won.
