Far from affliction, toil, and care

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #577 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Far from affliction, toil, and care, The happy soul is fled; the breathless clay shall slumber here, Among the silent dead. 2 The gospel was his joy and song, E'en to his latest breath; The truth he had proclaim'd so long Was his support in death. 3 Now he resides where Jesus is, Above this dusky sphere; His soul was ripen'd for that bliss, While yet he sojourn'd here. 4 The Churches' loss we all deplore, And shed the falling tear; Since we shall see his face no more, Till Jesus shall appear. 5 But we are hasting to the tomb; Oh, may we ready stand; Then, dearest Lord, receive us home, To dwell at thy right hand.
