When the day of toil is done, When the race of life is run Father, grant Thy wearied one: Rest forevermore When the strife of sin is stilled, When the foe within is killed Be Thy gracious word fulfilled: Peace forevermore When the darkness melts away At the breaking of the day Bid us hail the cheering ray: Light forevermore When the heart of sorrow tried, Feels at length its throb subside Bring us where all tears are dried: Joy forevermore When for vanished days we yearn, Days that never can return Teach us in Thy love to learn: Love forevermore When the breath of life is flown, When the grave must claim it's own Lord of Life be ours thy glorious crown: Life forevermore Life forevermore!
