Author: Trivetts Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Funeral Occasions First Line: Death, as a sleep or gentle doze Lyrics: 1 Death as a sleep or gentle dos, Does every weary saint compose Lays all its pain, and griefs remove, Conveys the Soul to worlds above. 2 Where all its sigs and mournful cries, With pained heart; and flowing eyes, Are chang'd for pleasures lasting sweet Nor can it more with sorrow meet. 3 Blest in the lamb's embrace it lies, Praising its God above the sies; In sparkling robes of glory bright, Transporting joys and pure delight. 4 Thus with the growing concert join, And seraphs in musick divine 'Tis rapture almost ravishing, To hear the charming notes they sing. 5 Nor can those joys sublime be less, They'r flowing streams of perfect bliss Yet parents and relations dear, Are loth their loving friend to spare.
