Hear What the Voice from Heav’n Proclaims

Hear what the voice from Heav’n pro­claims

For all the pi­ous dead;

Sweet is the sa­vor of their names

And soft their sleep­ing bed.

They died in Je­sus

and are blest;

How kind their slum­bers are!

From suf­fer­ings and from sins re­leased

And freed from ev­ery snare.

Far from this world of toil and strife

They’re pre­sent with the Lord;

The la­bors of their mor­tal life

End in a large re­ward.
