10229. Happy Soul, Thy Days Are Ended

1 Happy soul, thy days are ended,
All thy mourning days below;
Thou, by angel guards attended,
Didst to Jesus’ presence go.

2 Trusting in thy Savior’s merit,
Thou hast seen thy Lord above,
Waiting to receive thy spirit,
Reaching out the crown of love.

3 For the joy He set before thee,
Thou didst bear a moment’s pain,
Die, to live a life of glory,
Suffer, with thy Lord to reign.
