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!
