John Bacchus Dykes - Now the labourer's task is o'er - текст песни (слова)

1. Now the labourer's task is o'er,
  Now the battle-day is past;
  Now upon the farther shore Lands the voyager at last.
 R. Father, in Thy gracious keeping
  Leave we now Thy servant sleeping.
 
 2. There the tears of earth are dried;
  There its hidden things are clear;
  There the work of life is tried
  By a juster Judge than here.
 R.
 
 3. There the penitents that turn
  To the Cross their dying eyes
  All the love of Jesus learn
  At His feet in Paradise.
 R.
 
 4. 'Earth to earth, and dust to dust,'
  Calmly now the words we say;
  Leaving him to sleep in trust,
  Till the resurrection day.
 R.
