Hymn 524

1THERE is an hour of hallowed peace
For those with cares oppressed,
When sighs and sorrowing tears shall cease,
And all be hushed to rest.
'Tis then the soul is freed from fears,
And doubts which love annoy;
Then they that oft have sown in tears
Shall reap again in joy.

2There is a home of sweet repose,
Where storms no longer beat;
The stream of endless pleasure flows
Around the mercy-seat.
There purity and love appear,
And bliss without alloy;
They that oft had sown in tears
Shall reap again in joy.
