Cease, ye mourners, cease to languish
O’er the grave of those you love;
Pain and death, and night and anguish,
Enter not the world above.
While our silent steps are straying
Lonely through night's deepening shade,
Glory’s brightest beams are playing
Round the happy Christian’s head.
Light and peace at once deriving,
From the hand of God most high,
In his glorious presence living,
They shall never, never die.
Now, ye mourners cease to languish
O’er the grave of those you love;
Far removed from pain and anguish,
They are chanting hymns above.
