1 So rest, my Rest, Thou Ever-blest! Thy grave with sinners making; By Thy precious death from sin My dead soul awaking. 2 After Thy strife, Life of my life, Thy fervent love hath driven Thee into the cold, dark grave Thst I might gain heaven. 3 Breath of all breath! I know from death Thou wilt my dust awaken; Wherefore should I dread the grave Or my faith be shaken? 4 To me the tomb Shall be a room Where I lie down on roses; Who by faith hath conquered death Sweetly there reposes. 5 Meantime I will My Savior, still Deep in my bosom lay Thee, Ever musing on Thy death. Leave me not, I pray Thee!
