We shall sleep but we shall waken,
We shall meet with friends long dead,
Those who from our sight were taken
To a cold and narrow bed;
From the loftiest tomb's dark prison,
From the lowliest grass-grown heap,
We shall rise as Christ has risen
When he wakes us from our sleep.
We shall meet with friends long dead,
Those who from our sight were taken
To a cold and narrow bed;
From the loftiest tomb's dark prison,
From the lowliest grass-grown heap,
We shall rise as Christ has risen
When he wakes us from our sleep.
We shall sleep but we shall waken
In the resurrection morn,
We, by sudden night o'ertaken,
Wanderers lost amid the storm;
Whatsoever may befall us,
Though our rest be long and deep,
Jesus in the morn will call us,
Call us from our silent sleep.
In the resurrection morn,
We, by sudden night o'ertaken,
Wanderers lost amid the storm;
Whatsoever may befall us,
Though our rest be long and deep,
Jesus in the morn will call us,
Call us from our silent sleep.
