We Shall Sleep, But Not Forever

Author: Mary Ann Kidder Meter: 8.7.8.7 D with refrain Appears in 68 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We shall sleep, but not forever, There will be a glorious dawn; We shall meet to part--no, never, On the resurrection morn! From the deepest caves of ocean, From the desert and the plain, From the valley and the mountain, Countless throngs shall rise again. Refrain: We shall sleep, but not forever, There will be a glorious dawn; We shall meet, to part--no, never, On the resurrection morn! 2 When we see a precious blossom That we tended with such care Rudely taken from our bosom, How our aching hearts despair! Round its little grave we linger, Till the setting sun is low, Feeling all our hopes have perished With the flower we cherished so. [Refrain] 3 We shall sleep, but not forever, In the lone and silent grave: Blessèd be the Lord that taketh, Blessèd be the Lord that gave. In the bright, eternal city, Death can never, never come! In His own good time He’ll call us From our rest to home, sweet home. [Refrain] Amen. Topics: Last Things Death and Burial Used With Tune: WE SHALL SLEEP, BUT NOT FOREVER

Uphold us in the evil hour, And from his might release us! His kingdom is a stronghold still, And legions hearken to his will. 4 But O, before Thy Word, dear Lord, The prince of darkness trembles!

E'en though, in woeful agony, My soul and body pine away, Thou art my Comfort, ever blest, I safely on thy bosom rest. Lord Jesus Christ, My Saviour dear, my Saviour dear, Thy saving hand is ever near. 2 Almighty God, for what I own, Receive, and am, to Thee alone I ought my thanks to render. Teach me to use Thy gifts, I pray, To aid the poor, and never stay, O Lord, Thy mercies tender. Make known to me, O God, Thy will, And purge my soul of every ill; Yea, make me patient and content, Nor let my soul to earth be bent, Lord Jesus Christ, For Thy death's sake: for Thy death's sake: The bonds of my affliction break. 3 Send, Lord, Thine angels forth at last To bear my soul, when life is past, Where heavenly joy aboundeth; And let my weary body rest In peace, where'er Thou seest best, Until Thy voice resoundeth. Then lo! in holy vesture clad, I shall behold my Lord and God; His grace and glory then shall be My joy in all eternity. Lord Jesus Christ, My prayer fulfill; my prayer fulfill; In life, in death, Thine am I still. Amen.
