EN 5449 How Sweet the Hour of Closing Day

Heb.4.9

Versi Version 1

1

How sweet the hour of closing day,

When all is peaceful and serene,

And when the sun, with cloudless ray,

Sheds mellow luster o’er the scene!

2

Such is the Christian’s parting hour;

So peacefully he sinks to rest,

When faith, endued from Heav’n with power,

Sustains and cheers his languid breast.

3

Mark but that radiance of his eye,

That smile upon his wasted cheek;

They tell us of his glory nigh,

In language that no tongue can speak.

4

A beam from Heav’n is sent to cheer

The pilgrim on his gloomy road;

And angels are attending near,

To bear him to their bright abode.

5

Who would not wish to die like those

Whom God’s own Spirit deigns to bless?

To sink into that soft repose,

Then wake to perfect happiness?
