206. 'Tis Sweet to Think of Those at Rest	C.M.
by Tregelles, 1846



1	'Tis sweet to think of those at rest,
	Who sleep in Christ the Lord,
	Whose spirits now with Him are blest,
	According to His Word.

2	They once were pilgrims here with us;
	In Jesus now they sleep;
	And we for them, while resting thus,
	As hopeless cannot weep.

3	How bright the resurrection morn
	On all the saints will break!
	The Lord Himself will then return,
	His ransomed church to take.

4	Our Lord Himself we then shall see,
	Whose blood for us was shed;
	With Him forever we shall be,
	Made like our glorious Head.

5	We cannot linger o'er the tomb;
	The resurrection day
	To faith shines bright beyond its gloom,
	Christ's glory to display.
