Go to the grave in all thy glorious prime,
In full activity of zeal and power;
A Christian cannot die before his time,
The Lord’s appointment is the servant’s hour.
Go to the grave; at noon from labour cease;
Rest on thy sheaves, thy harvest task is done;
Come from the heat of battle, and in peace,
Soldier, go home; with thee the fight is won.
Go to the grave, for there thy Saviour lay
In death’s embraces, ere he rose on high;
And all the ransomed, by that narrow way,
Pass to eternal life beyond the sky.
Go to the grave:—no, take thy seat above;
By thy pure spirit present with the Lord,
Where thou for faith and hope hast perfect love,
And open vision for the written word.
